Beauty and the Beast

An afternoon of contrasts. 
We started off at Fyvie Castle where I photographed a rather beautiful swan and finished the day at Slains Castle where we spotted the beastly Nosferatu prowling in the gathering darkness. You might be able to make him out in the "extra".

Slains castle is claimed to have inspired Bram Stoker to write his Gothic novel Dracula.
