Weekly Photo Challenge – Ooh, Shiny! – Culzean Castle Flintlock Pistol Display

This weeks WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is about things that catch your eye, and how you feel, you must stop what your doing, and take a pic.

Whenever I see anything at all unusual, I most definitely get that “Ooh, shiny!!!” feeling, such as this flintlock pistol wall display, in the entrance hall of Culzean Castle, on the west coast of Scotland. Now, as I said to Lorna (Lorna’s Blog), in my previous Culzean Castle post, I’m not usually a fan of anything connected with guns, but this display was just so unusual!! This is just one of three walls worth of flintlock pistols and musket rifles, which if I remember correctly, were all used during the Napoleonic Wars in Europe in the early 1800s.
