A speculative digital reconstruction of the Bass of Inverurie – a late twelfth-century timber and earthwork castle held by the Earls of Garioch (pronounced 'Geary' in the local tongue) – members of the extended royal family of Scotland and the ancestors of King Robert the Bruce. The first constables of Inverurie Castle, were the de Lesselyns or the Leslies. The Lesselyn surname is derived from the lands which formed their original barony in Aberdeenshire granted to them by Malcolm III and his immediate successors.

About the images in my portfolio
You may notice subtle shapes and patterns in some of the images in my online portfolio, affecting their visual quality. I am experimenting with free tools developed by researchers at the University of Chicago to help artists protect their work from unauthorised AI training. It subtly alters images in ways that are almost invisible to people but can confuse AI models, making it much harder for them to learn and reproduce an artist's distinctive style.
