Corgarff Castle, Scotland; Limited Edition 1 of 5 Photograph

Corgarff Castle is located in Aberdeenshire. It stands by the Lecht road, which crosses the pass between Strathdon and Tomintoul. The castle was built in the mid 16th century by the Forbes of Towie. In 1571 it was burned by their enemy, Adam Gordon of Auchindoun, resulting in the deaths of Lady Forbes, her children, and numerous others, and giving rise to the ballad Edom o Gordon. After the Jacobite risings of the 18th century, it was rebuilt as a barracks and a detachment of government troops were stationed there, on the military road from Braemar Castle to Fort George, Inverness. Military use continued as late as 1831, after which the tower served as a distillery and housed local workers. It remained part of the Delnadamph estate belonging to the Stockdale family until they passed the castle into state care in 1961. It is now in the care of Historic Scotland. Whilst in my work I use digital Canons and Nikons and Fujis and the out-of-camera files are being put through Lightroom and Photoshop, I always limit post-processing to the absolute minimum, in an attempt to retain as much as possible of the original atmosphere. To put it in another way, what you see is largely what I saw and experienced in real life at the time the original photograph was taken. This is the first of a series of a five-print limited edition. It is sized 16x24' and is printed on high-quality Hahnemühle Photo Rag Bright White 100% Cotton 310gsm paper. Titled, numbered and signed in pencil by the artist. The artwork ships in a box.
