@19clinton Alan Sorrell had a thing about beams of light in his reconstruction drawings. Tried to copy this effect in Paint as a homage to Sorrell.

As a boy I was amazed at the work of Alan Sorrell. His reconstruction of Dirleton was the first image of its kind I ever saw. So I copied his techinque of boxing views a section at a time. I used (8 pence) Postcard images in 1981 then scaled up to A3 size (Tantallon example)

Rothesay Castle, Isle of Bute (Scotland) reconstruction. King Robert III died here in 1406 on hearing his Son & Heir James I had been captured by English Pirates off Flambrough Head while fleeing the Bass Rock heading for France. #RothesayCastle #ScottishCoastalCastles

Fast Castle did reconstruction in 1987 followed corbel machicolations along as I thought it was a Hall block. But changed this when I found (in ruin painting) it led to part of a Keep which makes alot more defensive sense. So tweaked reconstruction. #FastCastle #ScottishCastles

Spanish Armada wrecks in Ireland watercolours from 1988. La Trinidad Valencera and La Girona (well known wrecks). Third wreck was one of these secret location photos I was given with no wreck name. So don't actually know where in Ireland this one is. #SpanishArmada1588

Roxburgh Castle, Borders (Scotland) reconstructions. Castle slighted after the death of King James II of Scots during 1460 siege. #RoxburghCastle #HistoryRebuilt

Great Bascinet from 1430 and overlap of modern replica. One of my favourites as its like the bascinet of the Wolf of Badenoch who is famous for burning Elgin Cathedral in 1390. He also played chess with the Devil before he died during a thunderstorm at Ruthven Castle in 1405.

Kildrummy Castle watercolour. In 1306 The Bruce's Wife, Elizabeth, his Sister (Mary) & Isabella MacDuff were among the party that escaped from English siege but were captured later at Tain. Mary was put in a cage at Roxburgh Castle & Isabella in a cage at South Berwick Castle.

Battle of Arkinholm 1455 Red Douglas defeat Black Douglas forces. The Black Douglas's Brother the Earl of Moray killed & beheaded. His other Brother the Earl of Ormonde was wounded but brought back to good health to also be beheaded. Heads were presented to King James II of Scots

Heraldry has meaning. After the Battle of Teba in 1330 (James Douglas throwing King Robert's heart). The Bruce heart badge was added to the Douglas heraldry to remember this event and scare their enemies because of their fame in combat.
