Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post each week and then sharing your link in the comments below, anytime between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time). You can join in here: https://miscellaneousmusingsofamiddleagedmind.wordpress.com/2020/07/30/thursday-doors-july-30-2020/
My door pictures this week were taken at Dunvegan Castle and gardens on the Isle of Skye. The castle is built on an elevated rock overlooking an inlet on the eastern shore of Loch Dunvegan. Dunvegan is the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Scotland and has been the ancestral home of the Chiefs of Clan MacLeod for 800 years.
Most fortuitously, Sue Vincent wrote a recent post about Dunvegan and the Fairy flag which you can read here: https://scvincent.com/2020/07/28/dreaming-stones-dunvegan-and-the-fairy-flag/

I never thought of taking pictures of doors, Jacqui, until I saw that Dan Antion participated in this challenge. It is rather fun and I prepared for it by taking doors pictures during our last few trips.

You’d think they’d be ordinary but lots of people put personality into theirs. But not in my neighborhood. Here, they’re fairly bland.

You can’t see doors in my neighbourhood, Jacqui. Only high and imposing gates.

Fascinating photos, Robbie. I have a deep yearning to visit old castles in Ireland and Scotland. Maybe some day. Thank you for sharing. Doors are fascinating!

I love visiting old castles and museums too, Jan. That is why we travel to Europe so often. I’ve had it in my mind that I would participate in this particular challenge for a while now so I ensured I took lots of doors pictures when we traveled last year.

After your cautionary note when I wanted to enter a hobbit hole in one of your previous posts, I’ll just peek into the Door to Fairyland without going inside.

Haha, Liz, those hobbit holes were a disappointment. I felt they should have had one that was furnished.

I like these door pictures – and I think I like the plain one in the garden the best because it makes me imagine what is behind it. Our front door is so much less formidable than the first door, but our house is not a castle! Nice post 🙂

Our front door has double doors. Bigger than an average house because it is the original old farmhouse in this area, Barbara. Nothing on the scale of this door, of course.
