Invergordon Castle GroundsAn aerial view of the Castle grounds taken on 23rd May 1946. The Large Version may yield more detail. (Top is south-east, bottom is north-west.)
The rectangle of the wall-garden can be seen at the top middle of the photo. This is now the site of the Castle Gardens Care Home. The avenue of trees which runs diagonally left from the walled-garden runs up to the Tomich Road and the old East Lodge. It is just below this avenue that some detail of the Polish Camp can be seen.

Just superb, Vanda. One can clearly see the outline of the Horshoe Bend as it went around the back of the Castle grounds from the left of the picture then around the front. It goes all the way down to Rosskeen following the burn. It used to be a lovely walk with the air scented by the roddies and honey-suckle.

Glad you like the photos Harry. It's nice to see the old photos and remember.
