Just had a look on my desktop Richard, that Mavic 3 Classic camera is impressive, might be time for an upgrade soon! Looks like you shot HDR bursts, good idea as the castle walls are very white in places.
The first image is fantastic, you really had me trying to work out what it was at first

Love the B&W one
Just up the road from me Richard. They did a nice restoration job on it. Excuse the video (March 23).
Nice, much better with some clouds in the sky & lower sun, I hate midday & boring sky’s but I was killing time, I also thought that would be your neck of the woods

Wanted to get more shots but the wind gusts picked up and the heavens opened
A few pics from yesterday morning in Dunfermline where I got about 20mins of great light before the rain came on. Dunfermline Abbey, the resting place of several Kings of Scotland, is a place I’ve wanted to photograph for ages, but somehow never seemed to get around to it.
Dunfermline Abbey and Palace - Mini 4 Pro.
Dunfermline Abbey is a Church of Scotland parish church in Dunfermline, Fife. The church occupies the site of the ancient chancel and transepts of a large medieval Benedictine abbey, which was confiscated and sacked in 1560 during the Scottish Reformation and permitted to fall into disrepair. Part of the old abbey church continued in use at that time and some parts of the abbey infrastructure still remain.
Robert the Bruce was buried, in 1329, in the choir, now the site of the present parish church. Bruce’s heart rests in Melrose, but his bones lie in Dunfermline Abbey, where (after the discovery of the skeleton in 1818) they were reinterred with fitting pomp below the pulpit of the New church. In 1891, the pulpit was moved back and a monumental brass inserted in the floor to indicate the royal vault.
You got better light than I did last week when I was getting content for the RTF.
At one point I thought I’d had a wasted journey as there was a lot of cloud about, then a little gap appeared on the horizon, 20 mins of sun then gone again.
Old Beaupre Castle.

From the Cadw website:
Medieval manor with extravagant Tudor additions and status symbols
Despite the name and its medieval origins, Old Beaupre is really more manor house than castle. Built in two stages, the older part was constructed around 1300 while a major renovation in the 16th century by the Bassett family produced some of its most impressive remaining features.
These include the well-preserved three-storeyed gatehouse and striking porch, decorated with columns inspired by the architecture of ancient Greece and bearing the family’s heraldic crest carved in stone.
Designed to demonstrate Bassetts’ wealth and importance, these Tudor symbols of status give a revealing glimpse into how this grand property would have looked in its heyday.
