Brimstone Hill Fortress - St Kitts

We had the best tour of St Kitts.  It was an all day, all island private tour through Royston's Tours.  I highly recommend this tour! One of the stops was the Brimstone Hill Fortress.  Such a beautifully preserved site!

This fortress was first started in 1690 and worked on through out the next 100 years.  It was a British fort with the work done by slaves.  St Kitts has a lot of slave trade history.  I wish we had more time to look through the fort and learn more about the history.


I used two challenges on this layout: one sketch challenge and one inspiration challenge.

The sketch challenge is a double layout from Stick it Down.


The inspiration challenge is from Pixels and Paper Challenge Blog.  The challenge was to use a monochromatic color scheme on your layout.  I used brown as the color.
