Castle Hill by Strachan
Castle Hill by Strachan
The mound (Motte) in the left foreground was until recently a grassy knoll akin to the Peel of Lumphanan, but has been allowed to become overgrown by scrub disguising its historic origins as a castle. The hilltop in the far distance is Kerlock (NO6987; 535m).
