The remarkable Hermit's Castle, on the shore at Achmelvich near Lochinver in Sutherland. This concrete folly was built in 1950 and, so the story goes, used for just one weekend before being abandoned. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/lochinver/hermitscastle/index.html

Serious question from The Folly Flâneuse: "If by chance you do know anything about an architect called David Scott, who practised in Norwich, loved Scotland, and worked at Dounreay power station and in Norway and Greenland, do please get in touch."

I’m posting a photo of me in my #happyplace today, because it’s #worldmentalhealthday
Cold water swimming is both meditative and fun so ticks a lot of boxes for my mental well being.

What’s your happy place or activity?

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

While we are at Achmelvich we visit the elusive Hermit's Castle, built in 1950 on a rocky headland. It's been called Europe's smallest castle and is actually a concrete folly built in a Brutalist style that blends surprisingly well into its rocky shoreside setting.
