<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 9425743, member: 182"]In the painting the castle looked moated to me, but some of the water was taken over by vegetation. The painting was done in the 1870s and the photos are recent. It looks like the tourist bureau in Scotland removed the ivy and took away some things that might injure the tourists as they climb around in the ruins. And they obviously applied some recent mortar to keep the stones in place. It's now a safer tourist attraction. They might have also torn down the bridge, but someone local would have to tell us if that's the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
