later to the very day. It was not. how
ever, until August IS. 1880. that the
splendid structure was finally reported
completed, having thus occupied In
building the record time Of exactly 6s2
years.
The castle Of Kingsgoberg. which
stands at the southern extremity OF
Jutland, took 204 years from the lay

On his twenty-ffth birthday he was
thrown into prison by the son Of the
man whose skull lay In the earth as
Kingsgoberg's foundation stone. In
this manner master after master OF

Between Perth and Klngussie, In
Scotland, on the direct John O. Gr0ats
to Lands End road, stands Murthley
Castle, magnificent Ellzabethan
structure, designed IN the early part OF
the present century. It is not likely to
be finished. however. building experts
declare, for az least another decade.
Only a few miles distant. on the
same main road. is the vast unfinished
palace OF the Dukes Of AthOl. It was
begun by the fourth Duke, who died
In 1880, who planned 1t on the most
sumptuous style. When completed il
w2l be one OF the finest private resi-
dences In the kingdom.
For over twenty years Lord Butte
has been busy building a great man

not yet completed, nor likely to be for
another ten years. At the end OF that
period Mount Stewart. as the place Is

gorgeous establishments In the world.
Restormel Castle, In Cornwall, took
ninety years to build. OF which period
exactly one-third was occupied in ex-
cavating the foundations. The solid
rock upon which it stands is almost as
hard as iron. Indeed, "Restormel"
means, in Cornish, ''the palace OF the
