The Scotland Castle Duart

This is our visit to Duart Castle.  This castle was given to the MacLean clan by Robert the Bruce, an important person in Scottish history.  Canadian astronaut Steven MacLean is a direct descendant of this early Scottish clan.

"It's a big castle called Castle Duart."


"This is me dressed like a knight, and Annabeth dressed like a princess."

"Me being a knight, guarding on guard for evil people."

"This is me dressed like a knight with my helmet down."


"Me on guard, looking for bad guys who would attack the castle and be so bad that they would break the bricks."

"This is Mommy and Annabeth pretending to be princesses, standing at the door for the anniversary picture."

"Somebody in the dungeon."  (This is a fake dungeon with statues of people, not a real dungeon.)

"This is where the water came from."

"This is a sign all about dungeons."

"People in the dungeon, somebody sleeping and somebody awake."

"This is fake dungeon with toy rats."



"This is a bed they slept in along time ago, and this is where they had their babies because they didn't have hospitals.  Their teacher also came to their house."

"This is me on guard, sitting on a hidden toilet that is already boxed over."

"This is Annabeth looking for the secrect staircase that is behind curtains."

"This is me standing on guard for bad guys!"


"This is me and Annabeth saying Ole! because we got a bad guy, but we just pretended."




Looking over the castle wall at the invading ship.


Mommy and Shawn had a sword fight.




Most staircases were built for right-handed knights.

Big wall, little princess!

Canons in the front yard.






Boom!



I wonder who used to mow this lawn?
