I would imagine restoring an ancient castle like that would be a huge amount of work but incredibly rewarding. It's such a huge piece of history.<br /><br />Cathie, thanks for checking it out! How awesome that you drove past it so recently! I love the whole Argyll area!

Thank goodness for the people who have the means and desire to restore such castles.Julie Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242380140265459688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-64928802773431114172012-08-30T19:26:50.114-04:002012-08-30T19:26:50.114-04:00Thanks for checking it out, Lyn!

Researching this info was fun and interesting to me! I wish the day had been a bit clearer so I could have gotten some different looking shots.<br /><br />Paisley, I’m glad you ate breakfast reading about Stalker. Thanks! I’d love to be eating in the Stalker View Café now. I wonder if they serve million dollar bars? Will have to check next time! :)<br /><br />Ella, I’m glad you liked it! There was a lot of plotting and scheming going on back then. Thanks!<br /><br />Alexa, I hope you get to Stalker soon! It’s a really breathtaking place.
