Kits for ruins of castles/churches

Last year we went to Ireland and this year we are going to Scotland on vacation. Both countries have lots of ruins of old buildings, like castles, churches, abbeys/monastries, city walls, deserted villages and such.
I really would love some more kits for more element and paper choices than the kits I already have (like DSI's Wanderer - Historic, Erica Zane's Captivating Cathedrals and Wendy's Seven Sacraments. These last two are more for churches that are not ruins though). It gets boring to use the same few things over and over again (and also to see the same stuff in my books over and over again).

Things I would love to see in a (new) kit: stack of stones, gates, towers, swords, weapons, canons, canonballs, cobble stones, greenery like grass, ivy and ferns, (high) crosses, statues of saints or parts of a statue/sculpture, church windows without glass, altar/shrine, gravestone/tombstone and of course flowers and all those other 'basic' elements like ribbons and frames.
As for wordart/wordstrips things like: at/to the castle/abbey/monastry/ruin, reverend history, the past has a soul, full of wisdom, sacred ground, a legacy from the past, romantic ruin, horrific/cruel history, step back in time, enjoy the past, ancient ruins, timeless memories, another ruin, stepping into ancient history, whispers from the past, protect our past, haunted history, etc.

To get an idea of the ruins we visited last year in Ireland, I have this layout made with DSI's Wander - Historic:


Anyway, I'm looking for other kits. Not sure what's available in the shoppe (that I don't already have). Otherwise I hope DSI would consider an add-on to her historic kit. Or maybe others could make something with the suggestions I gave.
Thanks in advance!
 




I know this is Christmas, but Scotland themed with tartans and some stone textured papers


Outlander, ie Scotland based


Although American themed, there are some more generalised elements such as a canon and sword and a great alpha






A lot more left field, but Scotland based, so tartan, bagpipes, archery


Museum in general, but the word art in particular is really good in this one


Overall, I agree, there are limited on theme options, but I think some of these selection would work well mixed in with what you already have to change things up a bit.

ETA I'm in England, there's history seemingly on every corner and I have lots of ruins, churches, castles and cathedrals in my photos too!
 
Yes! I'm hoping for a new historic kit too. After our trip to Europe I have so many photos of castles, ruins, and ancient archaeology. I've made great use of Wanderer: Historic, Je Suis Prest, Captivating Cathedrals and Seven Sacraments.
