That was a huge fire Liz.
Didnt look like much room for a fire engine up there.
Such a shame.

:sadeyes: That is an amazing loss.
I wonder if it was full of 14th century items?

My family has a Castle in Scotland (it has passed to my Mother), and my Niece took a photo of it while she was in Scotland.

She managed to find a few Stone blocks to photograph amongst the vines and weeds :(
Such a waste.

Wow, Ken, that is amazing, the history in those stones!! Did you ever manage to go there? What part of Scotland?

90% of the contents was saved.
It seems 2 kids accidently started the fire. It was hot enough to melt 2 of the bells in the bell tower.

I love castles too. :)

good to hear, though wonder how the structure is, those bful toweres were ablaze. :sadeyes:

I tried to see as many castles as I could in Spain, jjj, just was a bit tricky when relying on the bus and train. I did pretty well, with about 20 I think. :)

I was at that castle only a few months ago for my brother's wedding. I got teary watching that video. So glad to hear most of the contents were saved.

OMG!! What an experience for you, but yes, sad to see what happened in the fire.
