Caerlaverock Castle viewed over the mote from the south


17 Caerlaverock Castle viewed over the mote from the south. This castle was built in late the 13th century, but over the centuries, in the course of the wars of independence , it took a bit of a pounding both from Scots and English armies and was restored several times. The 3 storeyed section you see in this picture was built around 1634 and the interior still conveys a strong feeling of having been lived in - with it's fireplaces and windows etc.
