    I visited in 2009 and was alone. My Carlyle ancestors would have been familiar with the castle and then with the ruins. I found sitting and breathing and feeling to be a very moving experience. I have a photo of the ruins in my living room.

    The pictures don’t do it justice. It is so amazingly red. I’m a Maxwell (3rd generation). Gorgeous place. Well worth the trip

      I’m planning a trip to see it. I traced my line back to Clan Maxwell and Clan Pollock.

      CodeRed6239, it’s absolutely gorgeous. The red, the first time you see it, it’s amazing. Mind you, when I went, there wasn’t internet readily available, just guide books (actual books! Lol).

    I don't what restoration cost would be . The stone work for the most part looks intact . Sure many areas needs work just wish they could at least get a roof on it to help preserve. Love the video people like you guys are great . Thank you and keep them recording. I am here 🌎 you are here.🌍

    Thank you for filming this as I would really like to see it in person. My mother is a Maxwell and we are related to Eustace Maxwell whowas on the side of the Brits and then switched over to be with Robert the Bruce. I read where he was the knight who carried Robert the Bruce's heart in a box into battle. I wonder if this is where Mel Gibson got the idea for the name "Brave Heart" .

    💖 I would give anything to touch the family walls. Blood on that land as they faught for Scotland. One of last strong holds. The English took it many times but we always faught it back. Its a shame we left scottland taking the two chieftons with us to keep them safe. Now all we held dear is lost forever.
