Re: casltes
Many of the less known/accessable ones are also well worth a visit & can be quite an adventure as well. Gight, Findlater, Auchindoun, Yester, Inverugie & Dunure spring to mind. 
The Fortified House in Scotland, by Nigel Tranter (5vol) is a worthwile read - especially for many of the less well-known places. |

I've been in Culzean, Edinburgh and Stirling castles. Quite interested in them. I also like the ruined ones, kind of eerie feel about them. | ||
