while we were on the isle of bute we visited mount stuart, a victorian gothic mansion. i'm not usually that enthralled by big stately homes but this place was amazing. each room had so many different styles and themes going on, and the attention spent on the minutest of details was awesome. you could tell that a disgusting amount of money had been spent on it. unfortunately there was a very strict no camera policy inside, a real shame as it was so stunning. so all i could manage were exterior shots - this was one of the ends of the mansion and one of the few bits of the house that wasn't perfect. well not perfectly symmetrical anyway - so i brought it into photoshop and did a bit of cloning to get the symmetry just right.

there are two main areas that don't really exist in this picture, see if you can spot them before checking out the original
