Yes the entrance fee is about as steep as the hill it sits upon. But you’re right, Despil, it was worth it!

Thanks, Wolfie, glad you like them

You’re most welcome for the tour, Lost Writer. I quite often post tours like this one, so if you need a bit of escapism while you plan your next family holiday, do pop by!

I took a few of the stairs, Kacey, as they really were beautiful with the light streaming through the slits in the thick sandstone. This is one of the few that worked out nicely, but I’m rather pleased with it

You are most welcome, Karen. I’m so pleased that you enjoy visiting here – it reassures me that what I’m doing here is worth while.

I thought they might, Autumn Song

Oh, Kelly I would love to go to Mount St Helens! I’ve always been fascinated by volcanoes, and I don’t think I could pass up an opportunity to visit one. If you do go, you must let me know what it was like.

That sounds incredible, Jackie! I’ve often gone up to the castle during the day, but never at night. I’ve been up to Stirling Castle in the evening as I once attended a ceilidh in the great hall, and there is just something so magical about visiting a castle under the cover of darkness, isn’t there?

Oops, sorry Diane! The Wallace Monument is in Stirling which is midway between Edinburgh and Glasgow in Scotland, UK. Glad you liked the photos

Around here we have the Space Needle and the Seattle sites. I’ve never been to Mt. St. Helens, the volcano that blew in the early 1980’s. That’s a pretty widely known historic site. I’ve always meant to go, but you know, other things seem more important at the time.
