The second part about the skills needed to build the castle is very similar to that needed for cathedral building. I am still non the wiser about the scaffolding though... Thank you :-)

There is a bit of romance about the idea of living in a castle but I am sure the reality was very different.

At the same time they are beautiful pieces of architecture. But as someone else said, I wouldn't want to live there. A lovely, low-key and almost modest photograph that only enhances the castle itself. Well done. Those castle always have a feeling of darkness and solemness about them.
