The third part of my in-depth series features mostly castles near the water. But first two monastery ruins before breakfast: Sweetheart Abbey, founded 1273, and Lincluden Collegiate Church from around 1400.
Then we're off to Innis Chonnel Castle. It sits on a tiny island near the eastern shore of Loch Awe. It's easily seen from the shore and the air, if you've got a boat: go for it.
Next is Kilchurn Castle, a place I previously loved, but now it's full of signs: no drones, no camping, no fires, no weddings, no nothing. Even the other side of the loch sports no drones signs but I found a spot without any signs though it was a bit far in the light rain to really get good shots - shame.
Next we have Stalker Castle, that sits on another tiny island on the eastern shore of Loch Linnhe. Often seen, never entered, at least now shot with drones in light rain.
The final spot for the day is Inverlochy Castle, closed for the public right now. It's north of Loch Linnhe very close to Neptune's Staircase.

Drones: DJI FPV (GoPro 10), GepRC Cinelog 25 HD (GoPro 8), DJI Mini 2, additional footage by Osmo Pocket

Music: AShamaluev.com - I don't monetize but they might...

You discover some extraordinary ruins Depp.  Another great series.

Splendid footage Depp.    Shame about Kilchurn Castle and the lack of access.  

I'm also starting to see more and more No Drone Fly Zones being put up.  Between the anti-drone folks and the commercial drone delivery services the recreational flyer is being pushed out of the picture, slowly but surely.  

A lot of history in one footage! Great work, Depp. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Those are some really extraordinary places Depp, I just love all those castles.

Nice bit of footage Depp and then you start to wonder how they built the castles especially  Innis Chonnel Castle. Must have required a major effort and well done we can view it now.

Yes, it's amazing how they did it without machine power. I guess labor was cheap (or forced)...

I think you now know more British geography than I do

Now that cow having a scratch gave me a smile.     Being half Scottish I really should pay a visit up there.

You're very welcome Depp.    

Hope you are having a great week.

I would never presume that I know more than a wise Englishman with European leanings ;-)
I may know a thing or two about Historic Scotland and English Heritage...
