Rapunzel? (PiPs) HBM/ HFF!!
Maclellan's castle, Kircudbright, Galloway, Scotland c1560 was built on the site of the former convent of Greyfriars , built in 1449 and demolished when the new owner, Sir Thomas MacLellan, Provost of Kircudbright acquired the buildings and land
Unlike many of Scotland's castles it has no 'bloody' history and seemed more for show than defence.
It passed into state care in 1912 and is now looked after by Historic Environment Scotland.
When we visited it appeared to be having some renovation by the scaffolding clearly seen here, but to my delight there was a 'maiden' imprisoned in the upper part of the castle, her 'hair' flowing down the castle walls. It made me think of Rapunzel, a story my children adored as children, always requesting 'Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair!' before bedtime.
For a little bit of fun I have added 'Let Your Hair Down' by Magic!
