    A fascinating story, Alex, and well told with the interspersed pictures. And I admire your hardiness, going up there in the snow.
    The connection with Sir Walter Scott is most interesting, too.
    Regards,

    BTW--is it a trick of the camera, or have you taken off a few pounds?
    Possibly an illusion caused by the longer kilt - my Ancient Hamilton was an ex hire kilt which is longer than I would usually wear, however the added length adds warmth for hiking on a cold day!

    Alex,
    Thanks for the amazing tour! You are a wealth of expertise and knowledge. Someday I would very much like to visit and see such castles in person.

    Alex,

    Thanks so much for this tour! With Anita being a Scott and my Murray roots, this is quite a treat.

    Hope the place stays until we can get back to see it.

    A' the best,
    Dan
