An unexpected detour on a day out with hubby led to the discovery of this lovely castle. What a stunning sight!
We had various plans, a walk – Boness:
More photos of Blackness Castle:
Lovely view of South Queensferry bridges from the castle.
A pigeon making a home in the castle!
Plus some graphitti in Edinburgh in this subway I’ve never walked through in my life! I was on my way to the Shut Up And Write session at Fountainbridge, which involves an hour writing plus separate time to chat about your current projects with fellow writers. I enjoyed!
Plus on route I look a liking to the name of this cafe, Chapter one Cafe in Dalry! Very writerly!
Hi.
Welcome to my blog: M J Mallon - Kyrosmagica Publishing. A blog about magic, books, writing, laughter, and much more! I'm a YA fantasy author, poet and reviewer. My first YA fantasy novel The Curse of Time - Book 1 - Bloodstone is set in Cambridge and Book 2 - Golden Healer is now out too. As well as this, I have contributed to several anthologies, created my own with some amazing international writers, bloggers and creatives during the pandemic: This Is Lockdown and written two poetry collections: Lockdown Innit Poems About Absurdity & Mr. Sagittarius Poetry and Prose. I write book reviews on my blog and on Goodreads, book bub and on my bookstagram. I have a penchant for travel and have relatives in far flung places, Australia, Malaysia, and Singapore, (my birthplace.) I grew up in in Bonnie Scotland, in Edinburgh, and now live in Cambridge. I love sunny, hot places, particularly Rome, Venice, Portugal, Barcelona, and I forgot to mention the sun drenched beaches of the Caribbean, how could I? I am lucky to have been blessed with two lovely daughters and a husband who I fondly refer to in this blog as my black sheep. Family joke! With my passion for travel, culture, beautiful beaches, good food, books, theatre, writing, and humour, I hope to keep you entertained. I'm loving every minute of this creative journey, please join me.

This is such a fantastic fortress building. I love how the top of the central tower and battlements provide panoramic views across the water toward Fife and the Forth bridges. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx
