EDITORS COMMENTS
Susie's Castle: A Unique Abode on Loch Long, Scotland Nestled on the shores of Loch Long in the picturesque village of Portincaple, Argyll, Scotland, lies an unusual and enchanting dwelling known as Susie's Castle. This image, taken circa 1909, showcases the upturned half-hull of a disused fishing-smack that once roamed the waters of Loch Long. The boat, now transformed into a quirky and charming home, was the abode of Hermit Susan McGlone (1847-1929). Susan, a character of great intrigue, chose to live a solitary life within the confines of her unconventional home. The castle-like structure, complete with a chimney, offered her a unique and secluded existence, far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The half-hull of the boat, once a symbol of industry and hard work, now stood as a testament to Susan's ingenuity and resourcefulness. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back to the early 1900s and the simple pleasures of rural Scottish life. The tranquil waters of Loch Long reflect the beauty and serenity of the surrounding landscape, providing a striking contrast to the rugged and unconventional nature of Susan's home. Susie's Castle remains a popular tourist attraction and a reminder of the unique character and resilience of the Scottish people. This photograph, with its rich history and captivating story, invites us to explore the depths of our imagination and to appreciate the beauty and intrigue that can be found in the most unexpected places.
