 The arrow points to where the castle was once attacked by Oliver Cormwell's forces in the 15th century.

|  Dennis just inside our room. Notice how small the door is. That is so the enemy would have difficulty stooping down to go into a room with armor on.
|  The room we stayed in Mary Queen of Scots also stayed in during the 15th century. Hanging on one wall in our room was a painting of her.
|  Cheri is fascinated with Mary Queen of Scots. We later bought Cheri a book on Mary Queen of Scots' life.
|
 Yes, a "fake" fireplace was in our room too.
|  Dennis and Candy on a 15th century love seat that was in the room.

This is one of our favorite photos from our trip.
We are both dressed in authentic Scottish attire.
|  This, and another Knight in armor, adorned the walls of the Great Hall.

|  WONDERFUL painting of Mary Queen of Scots hung in the Great Hall.
|  After dinner we all gathered in the lounge for a personal tour of the whole castle.
|  We were told the history of the castle. EVEN THE story of the Ghosts that haunt the castle!
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
|  Ok, I know this photo is strange. But it was fun watching too. We had such a great time letting her show us how a ghost would have ran through the Great Hall.
