I'm trying to remember all the castles I've been to.

Edinburgh, Dover, Pevensey, Harlech, Criccieth, Hurstmonceau (sp?), the Tower of London, and I'm sure there are more that I've just forgotten about.

Rosenborg Slot (I'm friendly with the curator but never got to go inside)

Amelienborg Palace (the Danish version of Buckingham palace. V friendly guards! A friend of mine went right up to them pissed as a fart holding a pint glass and they calmly gave him directions home which was impressive seeing as he was looking for the river that he needed to cross [there is no river in Copenhagen!]? Important to note, you can go right up to the door of the castle i.e. molotov throwing range! There's confidence in a lack of social revolt for you...)

Isn't that from a "what you drive by on the way to work" kind of thread? What is it again?

I was trying to remember the thread name. I'm glad it has gained mild internet message board noteriety, as I've been perplexed by it for most of my life.

castles are a total classic. I like Stirling myself.

River Castle, Ever More an Apparition, Further Crumbles

By LIZ ROBBINS
Published: December 29, 2009

Bannerman’s Castle was already an enigmatic ruin in the middle of the Hudson River, a dreamy landmark for passing train travelers and a passionate cause for preservationists.

But then in the silence of last Saturday night, a large chunk of history suddenly disappeared when the castle’s stone, brick and cement sighed under a century’s weight of weather. Overnight, two-thirds of the eastern tower was gone, as well as one-third of the adjacent southern wall, leaving a gaping hole and concern over how to stop the crumbling.
