Castle Stalker

This is one of my "All Round" pieces with the painting covering not only the canvas but continuing onto the Frame. Painted in my signature style, Big, Bold and Beautiful Art.

Castle Stalker is a four-storey tower house or keep. It is set on a tidal islet on Loch Laich, an inlet off Loch Linnhe. It is about 1.5 miles north-east of Port Appin, Argyll, Scotland, and is visible from the A828 road about midway between Oban and Glen Coe. The isle is accessible with difficulty from the shore at low tide. The name "Stalker" comes from the Gaelic Stalcaire, meaning "hunter" or "falconer". The island castle is one of the best preserved medieval tower houses to survive in western Scotland and is a Category A listed building. It stands in the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area, one of forty such areas in Scotland.

The castle was used as one of the locations for the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
