Abergeldie Castle (2)
The massively reinforced river bank along below the castle, is a fairly new addition.  In 2016, after a long period of torrential rainfall, the swollen River Dee washed away the river bank to within 2 feet of the castle walls!  The moral of the story perhaps is, that if you are going to build on a river bank, build on an inside curve, not an outside curve!  I guess the roots of all the trees that have been planted will help hold everything in place in the future.  Unfortunately they will also further obscure the fleeting view of the castle you get from the main road on the other side of the river.
