I believe the term is called Adverse Possession, and I know that the US and England are remarkably similar in how it worked. Even if the land is "owned" by another person, if that person is doing nothing to improve the land, this actually increases the squatter's chance of laying claim. Just make sure you bring a camera to document each day's progress and have a plan how to restore said castle to its former glory.

If dedicated Lamonts took up residence there, and refused to leave, and worked to improve it, wouldn't that be a good thing?

hmm...based on this I need to start hunting for castle ruins that I can "inhabit"!!!

oh, those are great pics. I love castles, not matter what condition they are in!
