Hamish,

You said,

"PS: Scotland and Wales are not the only places to find great castles! This one is in good condition in spite of it having been knocked about a bit by Oliver Cromwell in 1643!"

I'm very glad that the castle is finally finished so you could have such a great place to show off a great kilt, but My God, don't you folks over there have Home Depot? I mean jeez, 363 years to stick in some new vinyl windows, hang a few drapes, and splash on a new coat of paint?
Well perhaps you have trouble finding tradespeople. But after all that time you would think even one old guy working alone with a broken meter stick and a dull saw could have finished in only 214 years.

Great pics Hamish. Thanks for sharing.
