With difficult accessibility (you can only get there by boat), this 14th-century castle sitting atop a small island evokes a mystical sense of a fairytale in a far-off land. Capture the solitary architecture from the sky, as it basks in the late-afternoon sun rays that pierce through the clouds.

This drone image of Castle Stalker and the island was taken on the west coast of the city of Appin.
