======================================
07:08 reminds me of a similar, less grand, throne
======================================
at Trengwainton, Penzance,
home of Colonel Sir Edward Bolitho, LL of Cornwall,
which once served my needs well!
/
I would be very much at home at Castle Leslie.
My ancestors have had various homes and castles,
such as Macleod of Assynt and Macleod of Cadboll,
which is why in 1984
I went post-haste to Castle Ardross
in the hope of buying a castle
so close to Invergordon Castle,
where my great-grandmother was born.
Sadly, it was not to be!
/
Edwards's father, Major Simon Bolitho,
could remember dancing in the Great Hall at Ardross,
as a young man before WW2.
With it's hammer beams and minstrel's gallery,
it definitely appealed to me!
/
Two of my Macleod ancestors
were knighted by ( later to be ) King Charles II
for leading 1,000 Macleods
at the Battle of Worcester.
Sadly a defeat,
one ended up in the Tower of London,
though he escaped.
As hearing the pipes
raises my Highland blood,
I have since childhood
wanted a castle and personal piper!
Perhaps in my next life,
in a less Marxist time?
