    Chris,

    Can't speak for the others castles, but no kilted staff at Sands Point.
    However, they do hold one of the older renfairs every year.

    When I worked there we called them the "Mid-upheaval" group. Back in the 70's they were a bunch of stary eyed kids who drove us crazy with what we preceived as outlandish requests.

    Now they've grown up and so has the income that Nassua Couty takes in from it, ... so none of that seems so outlandish anymore !

    And I forgot to mention, there are also two French country style manor houses on the south half of the property.

    This one was the son's house, Capt Harry Guggenheim.

    And, no pictures of it on the website, but there is the mother's house that she had built after her husband died and she didn't want to live in the "big house".

    Was a very interesting place to work.

    Paul
