Auchendoune Castle, Ballindalloch Gatehouse, Clava Cairns, & Ardclach Tower and Kirkyard

For our second day we thought we'd check out Auchendoune Castle but it was closed. It was far off in the middle of a field and due to it being freezing & raining, we opted to catch it from the furthest point we could reach. Would want to go back to explore this ruin on a drier day. Ballindalloch Castle was also closed but as we were passing its Gatehouse anyway, we popped by to see that and get down to the river by it. We went on to then visit the Clava Cairns and standing stones. More Outlander fans getting there phiotos taken there. I found it strange that, despite it being a gravesite, there were picnic tables set up nearby. It was very peaceful despite the amount of people there. Then we finished our day at Ardclach Bell Tower and it's Kirk which made for a very serene wander through the kirkyard.

Music throughout by the wonderful Paul Burns:
