Banffshire, Scotland

This gorgeous image shows what looks like a miniature castle surrounded by lush vegetation. If you’re getting some Northern U.K. vibes, you’d be right. This snap is from the countryside of Banffshire, Scotland. In the fall, this area looks particularly alive, engulfed in gorgeous fire-tinted leaves (plus, there are tons of sheep and cows). As gorgeous as this tiny castle in this photo appears, it’s simply the gate to Ballindalloch Castle. That’s right – it’s just the gate. Imagine how epic the castle is. This castle has enormous history and was crafted in 1546. Since then, it’s been dubbed the Pearl of the North, but nothing is more magical than the wooded roadway to get to the castle’s doors.
