Ballinbreich Castle,Fife,Dec 12

The ruins of Ballinbreich Castle can be seen almost three miles east of Newburgh on a steep bank on the southern shore overhanging the Firth of Tay. The ruins stand on private property but it was originally with the ancient Abernathy family before it passed by marriage to the Earls of Rothes. The Earls of Rothes took from it the title Baron Ballinbreich. Ballinbreich is a Celtic word which comes from of Balan-breac, meaning "town of trout". This is of course a reference to the salmon to be found in the waters there.

thanks guys...yeah was nice and easy for my first attempt

Makes me wonder what used to happen inside those walls all those years ago
 
well thats my plan do a few castle ruins first and abandoned huts and things to build my confidence

Seen a nice abandon hunt for my next look around hope the year clears up soon
 
yea just get looking on the web/on here for places with a bit of searching etc and you will end up with a list of things to do
 
Yeah been do that, dont know a great deal of websites for looking but google comes in handy lol
 
That's what you call a ruin!
Good job, you'll soon get the confidence up. It's great fun and certainly you'll certainly catch the bug.
