Girnigoe Castle, Wick — night view under the moon — Tuck's Post Card N°10051

Description

Night view of the ruined Girnigoe Castle near Wick, under a starry sky and a bright moon, with waves crashing against the cliffs. The reverse indicates that the castle is a romantic site where, 300 years ago, a Count of Caithness imprisoned his son who died of starvation, and that there was, a century earlier, a battle between the forces of Campbell of Glenorchy and Sinclair of Keith.
