The story behind the photograph

Often called the “ship that never sailed” because of its unusual shape, Blackness Castle stands on a rocky promontory beside the Firth of Forth. Once a royal fortress, prison and military stronghold, it remains an atmospheric reminder of Scotland’s past.

This photograph brings together the castle’s textured masonry, the strong lines of its approach and the Scottish flag against an open sky. Each photograph is carefully refined in post-production to enhance light, texture and atmosphere while preserving the character of the landmark.
