“The blood is the life!” ― Bram Stoker. Dracula

This evening we visited Slains Castle, the cliff-top ruin that inspired Bram Stoker to write the novel Dracula, whilst on his holidays in nearby Cruden Bay. We think that we might have caught a glance of the evil Count lurking around in the courtyard of the castle and feel rather lucky to have returned home safely. Now, where did I put that garlic and spare crucifix?
