I would not find the side of a significantly historical castle in the beauty of a countryside England one of those venues.

What makes that a castle, as opposed to just a big house? That looks like some of the houses in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

Here's the Earl that owns the Castle:



DMX (Earl Simmons)

Woah, woah, woah!
Scotland!
Careful. Scots will rip out your innards and cook them for that sort of mistake

I know you're probably joking, but the real answer is simply age and intention.
If it's old enough, and fortified, and built to withstand a siege, it's a castle. I guess the houses in Grosse Pointe only miss on one point!

Here is another Scottish Castle with a ongoing history. The Dalyell family has been living in this house since 1612. The house has belonged to a Trust set up for country houses. It was turned over in 1944 with the contingency that the family would still reside there even as it was opened for tours. It is in Linlithgow, 20 miles west of Edinburgh.

Oh and one branch of my family descends from Dalyell's who came to the colonies in the early 1700's. Harry Truman also comes from the same line. I first got to learn about this part of my family history at a program at the Truman Library. I found it pretty damn cool to know that my family has a castle out there. Someday I will see it!!

Oh forgot to mention its name. It is called the House of Binns (hills). It sits on top of a hill above the river Forth.

Americans who go should bring their favorite hangover cure.

Because to go there means you've been binned (trashed).

Yeah, I know it's a reach, but I couldn't resist the multicultural joke.

There's also a programming joke in there somewhere regarding forth, but that was too obscure, even for me.
