This is Haggs Castle, a 16th Century tower house built for Sir John Maxwell, who would then go on to have Pollok House built for his family to move into. In 1943 it was used by the military, later converted into flats. Nowadays it's a private house again for one family. Obviously they support Ukraine's fight for freedom as the flagpole is adorned with the flag of said country. Slava Ukraini! Heroiam slava! #Ukraine #Glasgow #Architecture #Nikon #AffinityPhoto

The castle occupies the majority of the frame, with a cloudy sky as the backdrop. The building is made of rough-hewn, light-coloured stone, giving it a historic and textured appearance. The castle's architecture is a mix of styles, showing different additions and modifications over time. The walls are made of irregular stone blocks, creating a sense of age and solidity. The stones have a varied, weathered look. Roofline: The roof is a mix of pitched and flat sections. It appears to be made of slate or a similar material. Several windows are visible, differing in size and style. Some are small and rectangular, while others are larger with multiple panes. Doorways: A wooden door is visible at ground level, adding a touch of warmth to the stone façade. Multiple chimneys rise from the roof, suggesting the castle once had many fireplaces. A flagpole is prominently displayed on the roof, flying a blue and yellow flag. This flag is the national flag of Ukraine, which adds a contemporary and symbolic element to the historic scene. The sky is overcast with a mix of light and dark clouds, creating a soft, diffused light that illuminates the castle. The photograph is taken from a slightly elevated position, providing a clear view of the castle's rear façade and roofline. The image evokes a sense of history and resilience, contrasting the ancient stone structure with the contemporary symbol of the Ukrainian flag. The cloudy sky adds a touch of drama and atmosphere to the scene.

Well, that's my #Adobe Photography subscription axed after eight years, thanks to the price hike. There were cancellation offers which were tempting but I think a clean break is the right decision. I'm moving over to #ON1 and #AffinityPhoto instead on perpetual licences.
