I’ve always loved Caerlaverock Castle. It has a proper fairytale feel, with the moat completely surrounding it. We visited a few days ago and it was absolutely freezing, but I’ve also been here in summer and it’s genuinely lovely. They even hold a jousting event here, which somehow just feels right for this place. Back in 1300, Edward I arrived with a huge army and heavy siege engines, expecting a tough fight. The garrison inside was small, but the castle was incredibly well designed, with stron

From our visit yesterday. ❤️Caerlaverock Castle, near Dumfries, Scotland, is a unique triangular fortress built by the Maxwell family in the 13th century.

The castle saw numerous repairs and upgrades over the centuries, including the addition of the Nithsdale Lodging in the 1630s. However, its military significance waned after a devastating si
