price paid was only 100000, but the old
castle was soon found too small for her
majesty's requirements and, much to
her regret, had to be pulled down.
Queen Victoria had a great affection for
the old castle and was always anxious
to acquire anything connected with it.

and it now hangs at BalmoraI.
