Wish We had a Castle

Another part of our outing was visiting a few castles. We made it to Blackness castle which was on the beach and Castle Campbell which was in the hills. Castle Campbell had a great example of human ingenuity.......



Blackness castle was used to guard a major port back when. On the beach there were so may shells that they were near impossible to avoid. Janna ran around like a ballerina, while I had fun imitating Snap, Crackle, & Pop



Castle Campbell was up in the hills. To get there, it took an amazing walk through a glen that made us feel at home.



By far the coolest part of Castle Campbell was something D and I had also done in our fort out back by the shop. Built into the wall in the corner of the bedroom was a flat pan that drained out a stone trough to the outside of the castle wall. I am sure many peasants got a warm rain shower surprise from the man of the castle.
