My friends and I had the opportunity to take a trip to New Slains Castle, the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s gothic novel Dracula. It was nestled against the sea in the quaint Scottish town of Cruden Bay. We had an absolute blast climbing rocky cliffs and exploring the castle ruins, but instead of writing a long blog post about it, I thought, “Why not make a little picture gallery instead?” Therefore, here a few of the photos I snapped while playing explorer.
Me, Emily, and Jordan on the bus to Cruden Bay!
An adorable sitting area in Cruden Bay
We had to walk through gorgeous trees to get the castle.
Jordan would later climb this tree.
Isn’t Scotland gorgeous?
Cheesin’ for a “Can’t Believe This Is Real” photo
I’ll really miss these views.
I swear this isn’t photo-shopped.
