It seems that it's been split into flats:

Golach & Sporran,hope you like this one then.Apologies if its too vivid but i just couldn't help myself.

Oooh, that looks so spooky, MPH! I love it!!

Definitely makes it look like a haunted house. I can almost hear a wolf howling in the background!

Good twighlight zone pic MPH!

Only thing missing is the lone piper walking the battlements or the banshee hovering.
Great shot MPH.

Took this astropic last night.....

The little white dot in the sky is the elusive planet Mercury. Being so close to the Sun it is difficult to see. The end of April gives the best of only a few opportunities during 2009 to see it.

**Mystical Potato Head** · 22-Apr-09, 22:05

Well captured astroman,managed a glimpse of it last night too.

**wifie** · 22-Apr-09, 22:17

Well done indeed astroman - nice pic too, love the colour in the sea and the sky just above the hill. The lights spoil it for me but I am sure if you could have done something about them you would have.
