I enjoyed this very much, thank you! Thanks too for the detailed history. It's such a lovely castle, it actually reminded me of the artist Gaudi's hand-built "art" cathedral in Spain.
Unfortunately the council have cheapened the place now, and spoiled it by making it all tourist like and putting up fences so you cant get up close to the castle, in the name of "health and safety" I live locally, and have beautiful memories of this magical place.
@shanstrange Hi, I pinched it from the "internet archive" website. I think it was some acoustic music titled "Ridgway" or "Ridgeway" good luck finding it, it is a briiliant piece of music...
Fascinating, I visited it once on a canal trip which runs just past it. I have also recently read the Bernard Cornwell novel 'Vagabond' which describes the English Victory over the huge Scottish forces at Nevilles Cross. Now I can relate where King David ended up after his defeat.
Yeah was at this castle day before I flew home to cooler Buchan. Did'nt take any video footage of't. Though I note I took 39 short vids during my week in your shire, & almost 700 pix!.
Hmmmm suppose him not being able to revive the castle in original state along with the siege was a bit disappointing...but he worked with what he had and did an excellent job with film and info
O.o

Interesting ruin. I wonder when it was destroyed and abandoned to the elements.
