Incredibly interesting. Love that ceiling. There are three different rooflines and three different heights. Do you know if the castles was originally one building and then added on to at later dates?

Thank you so much, if you ever look at my flickr page, there is a castle set there. This Castle has a load of history,one little fact, Mary Queen of Scots stayed here in 1565, whilst on honeymoon with Lord Darnley

Hi Mike, well spotted. There were two separate towers built close to each other, the east tower and the west tower and the infill was built in the 17th. century
