Treshnish Isles, Cairn Na Burgh More Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Cairn Na Burgh More Castle stands among the Treshnish Isles as a medieval castle, 15th Century chapel and 16th Century barracks, a layered martial place rather than a gentle country house. Its stones may have served worship, defense and soldiering in the same breath, which fits the exposed western seas where readiness mattered more than comfort. The isles keep that sharpness still: wind, distance and age have removed everything that could be mistaken for decoration.
