Now you mention it they are reminiscent of those statues. I am a Tolkien fan and it is a nice surprise to find you are too

Thank you I loved the pics and it was a little spooky that the bridge was next post in the Flodden battle trail!

I enjoy my usual place to stay which is only a few miles up the road, so unless I could get a large gathering of friends to make a holiday let fun…

I need to check out that castle, I hadn’t heard of it!

Wish I could think of something more to say than ‘impressive’ or ‘fabulous’ but…….those gates do remind me bit of ‘The Silent Watchers’ from JRRT Lord of the Rings. Where was it now……”Two great stone statues which guarded the gate to the Tower of Cirith Ungol in Mordor.
Forgive me…if you are not a Tolkien fan?

I have just posted some Autumn photos which you will like. One of them features a bridge used by soldiers marching to Flodden Field, and I thought of you and your recent posts on this subject.
