Patience paid off and revisiting the site three times allowed me to capture some different views of this magnificent medieval structure.&nbsp; Imagine! It has stood there for over 700 years!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The drive up to Mallaig was very pleasant as the road was, at last, two way and not a single track road like what I have been following for the past 2 weeks! As this is the Road to the Isles and Mallaig is an end point for the \u201cHarry Potter\u201d train as well as a major port for not only the ferry but the charter boats as well.&nbsp; It\u2019s a lovely little town and the views are magnificent. My B&amp;B is a bit out of town and up a very steep hill but the view is stunning!&nbsp; Tomorrow it is off to Skye for the day, early ferry to Armadale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" data-id=\"7489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-8668.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-8668.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-8668-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-8668-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-8668-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-8668-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" data-id=\"7487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2956.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2956.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2956-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2956-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2956-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2956-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" data-id=\"7486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2033.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2033.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2033-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2033-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2033-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-2033-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-3002-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-3002-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-3002-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-3002-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-3002-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.pattrotter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/untitled-3002.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was travel day yet again and I was off to Mallaig.&nbsp; It turned into a beautiful day and as there was the promise of sun on my castle this morning while the tide was in I made yet another visit.&nbsp; Patience paid off and after an hour and a half waiting for the sun [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7485,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[142],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lord-of-the-isles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
