THE REST OF THE TOUR















Some more pictures to complete your tour of the castle.

Dinning room , part of the kitchen , drawing room , red sitting room

All the main rooms are up stairs,so that you can see the mountains from any of the windows.When the weather is better,i will show you the views from the drawing room,which are stunning on a nice day.
The weather is awful at the moment and we have had floods,not even "nice"floods,worthy of photos.The feeder stream to the lake burst its banks and flooded the cottage,John manned the pump most of the night to stop it getting in again,fingers crossed for a better night to night.

HOME FROM HOME THE GYPSY WAY



This is an original travellers caravan,Pam bought in the 1960's,she and Steve lived in it while major reconstruction of the castle was going on.It was fitted out with beds,cooker,cupboards etc,but sadly these have all gone now.The caravan its self is in need of radical renovation,but we can,t find anyone to do it.It makes for a good picture,and my grandchildren love to play house in it.
