Beautifully haunting pictures! I love how you have captured the perfect amount of light coming through the trees to create the gothic mood in your images. We visited the Culloden battlefield several years ago, it has a very strange feel to it, it gets into your bones. When you walk around, you can almost feel the presence of the clansmen from many, many years ago.
