Huntingtower Castle

This is Hunting-tower Castle near Perth,Scotland.It is about 15th century. What do you see when you look at it ? To some it is just a pile of ancient stones,trying to fight off the ravages of time.People drive past it every day.

 Were they involved in any political chicanery? Well yes,a plot to kidnap a king. What else did they plan,how many love affairs were started there?

This was once two houses the central section with the three windows was added later. The boy from one house fell for the girl from the other but the families did not get on. One night Mama was on the way up to her daughters bedroom at the top of the castle (where else do princesses live?) The boy was with the daughter sharing a mug of the equivalent of 15th century cocoa.Mama was coming up the stair and there was only one way out for the boy - across the space between the two houses.It is known as lovers leap and he made it .You have to stand below to see how far and high it is.When Mama got to the room daughter was alone asleep in bed.

What did it look like when it was built? It was brightly coloured ,the idea was to be seen  What was around it?  It is a great place for a bit of time traveling. like the Scent of Home .Who said history is boring? Next time you pass an old building let your imagination take you to what it could have been like. Don't forget to add your own touches - Now where is that Cathedral?  "Notre ......"
