“Here be dragons” means dangerous or unexplored territories, in imitation of a medieval practice of putting illustrations of dragons, sea monsters and other mythological creatures on uncharted areas of maps where potential dangers were thought to exist.

It may be that Medieval Map Makers wrote, “Here be dragons,” to indicate untold dangers and to warn away some exploration, or at least ask any such explorers to bring back a few line illustrations to update maps, charts and guides. When I say Dirleton Castle Here Be Dragons, I mean Dirleton Castle Here Be Dragons. The Dragon was posing for pictures and stating that Photoshop was allowed to bring out his armoured scale magnificence and to sparkle the light of gentle soft slightly flaming snores illuminating sleepily tinkling pillowed to perfection golden hoards of the past, the present and those yet to come within his eyes.
I saw the Dragon Eggs hatch and fly away for Winter and it is possible that the Dragon, as pictured here, may have flown away til Spring 2023. Please do ask if you are looking to see either The Dragon, as pictured here, or The Nest, either with, or without The Eggs. The Dragon, The Nest, The Eggs and The Man at Arms Presentations are all worth a visit for and along with them there is a Castle and Grounds that are superb.
For updates on The Dragon, The Nest, The Eggs and The Man at Arms Presentations and for artistic recreations of Castles and Historic Scenes I follow their creator on Twitter.

I only add as it gives me a way to help work with the use as linked above.
I will gladly grant copyright for none profit use of my work and I am not trying to make any profit from these images.
One Dragon and one picture lead to edits and inclusions with different arrows running through the numbers and letters of 70 Miles and then text inserted into an empty cartouche, “Lairs of Dragons open for visitors,” not to forget the two large above and below titles of, “Dirleton Castle,” at the top and, “Here Be Dragons,” at the foot. I have been consumed by Dragon, Maps and Text til I was nothing except Dragon edits. I have not configured every version of Dragon, Maps and Text possible and some of the completed designs have not made it to Flickr, YouTube and Blogger. Now I have to recover from Dragon consumption and find another focus once I am recovered. I have footage of a Knight in armour firing his cannon from a crenelated tower, the boom, boom is not yet filling the room, but like Mr. Toad I have heard the Thunder of the Future and in a Retrace Lightening Pathway I am accelerating aspects of The Past towards Fixations Of The fHuture*.
*FOTH - Fixations Of The fHuture are thoughts that flutter like moths til instead of them flying towards a source of illumination they have the light seek the person experiencing FOTH is the source of their illumination and the light travels towards the, at first small not too distant, FOTH and the intense focus of the person generates a metamorphosis to the friendly FOTH that expands and transmutes til is comfort blanket and furnace of inspiration with keys to unlock engaging experiences galore.
