Huntingtower Castle
Hungtingtower Castle was built by the powerful Ruthven family as two separate towers - and originally named after them.
The Ruthvens also commissioned the superb painted decoration that still survives on its walls and ceilings.
In the end, though, they lost everything thanks to their involvement in kidnap plots against King James VI.
The castle is in the care of Historic Environment Scotland and well worth a visit if you are in the Perth area of Scotland.

The rise and fall of St Andrews Cathedral

This iconic Scottish landmark is well known, but do you know the story of its rise from humble religious beginnings to the major seat of the church in Scotland and its demise during the reformation? John Knox's "fiery sermon" was preached in 1559 and NOT 1539. #St Andrews Cathedral, #St Andrews, #reformation,

    I was speaking to an Ancestor of Betty Corrigall visiting from New Zealand today at Dunrobin Castle who had just visited Orkney where he and his wife were seeking his family history. He was telling me of Betty’s story to how she came to own “The Loneliest Grave in the World” on Hoy Mr & Mrs Corrigall if you read this … I agree with your sentiment… for all those who rejected and let Betty down, they are long forgotten but she lives on. RIP Betty Corrigall 🤍

      If you are thinking of going over it would be wise to book your ferry soon if going from Ardrossan to Brodick. Alternatively, you can enjoy a lovely drive down the Kintyre peninsula and go from Cleonaig to Lochranza. There is no booking on this ferry. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed if you go to Arran. It’s a great place.

      It depends on the size and type of your vehicle. I usually travel by Pentland ferries from Gills Bay to St Margaret’s Hope. You can also travel by Stenna from Scrabster to Stromness. Check out their websites for exact prices. As it’s shorter you will probably find Pentland from Gills Bay the cheapest.
