Walk today was only nine miles (felt longer), so did it in reverse in order to have the afternoon to visit Castle Kennedy. Only a few navigational errors, but it is always frustrating and can be quite disconcerting when you make them. The trick is not to get anxious, but just try not to!
Never can resist these ladies when they all come rushing toward you:
A suspension bridge, sort of like a very mini-misimo Golden Gate only not golden and made of wood:
A dark forest rendered less dark by the use of the automatic flash :

Castle Kennedy is more of a big park than a garden, really. Anyway, it has this effective system of using coloured arrows to create guided walks. You can see that right here, the red and green walks go left. The green walk, the longest, and the one I chose, was supposed to take 2 1/2 hours only it took 45 minutes at a slowish pace. As you can see, part of the attraction is a deep blue loch:
A lake of giant lily pads:
Of course there has to be a castle, only you can't go in. But it was pretty just as a ruin:
This scent of this rose tree was divine:
