Post a CommentBeautiful. Thank you for sharing the history along with the pictures. NOT A GUEST
Fantastic info; thanks for sharing ♥
What a fascinating place, I'd love to go see it in person. I kept looking at the pictures and trying to imagine how it looked as a military hospital and a college.
Very ornate furnishings and interior, but seems a cold place to live..
Excellent work ♥
Awesome! Too bad Dunsmuir never lived to see it finished, ay? What a lot of drama this place has seen in the years since, too. Will be sure to visit if I ever get up to the area. Thanks a bunch, Mike! :o)
I've never heard of this caste. I need to go there.
Fabulous photos of a breathtaking landmark. Thanks!
What a magnificent castle!
Fabulous! I'd LOVE to visit this castle! Interesting background info., too.
