A hasty visit to the castle on a very wet Sunday last month.
I could not get to all of it as the hall was packed out for a demonstration of what appeared to be " Cat Strangling " music ! The long rifle appears to be a Furguson Breech loading flintlock and the choice of ammunition for " Mons Meg " would, no doubt, be against all rules of modern warfare. It's a great place, well worth a visit to anyone interested in history, even those who recognise the superiority of collecting S.E.Asian weapons. Roy |

Not one of mine Fernando she just turned up and her mother tossed her in just as the photo was being taken. Perhaps they thought it a cheap way to get home
