The stone walls of The Scottish Castle with its round towers must have been a pale sight compared to the grand fortifications of the medieval Norman and English kings. But the land of the Scotts has never been famous for its grand fortification. This resident, emerging from the hills of the Scottish highlands and breaking free of the clouds of the forever changing weather, has probably housed a bloodline of great men and women for centuries. On the most wintery days the servants must have fired up on lumber inside of the cold stone walls in an effort to warm themselves and their masters.

The house could easily be mistaken for a house of the English nobility but the thin tower peaking above everything else, in the surrounding area, looks like it was for mounting a royal standard. Perhaps it was home to a medieval royal family. If this truly was the house of Scottish royals, in the medieval period, they would certainly not have lived a peaceful life.

The ancestors of the Scottish highlanders were the Celts, whom in the Bronze Age, reigned over the realm that bordered with the very northern tip of the Roman empire, when the Roman Empire where at its peak. The Celts were among the few that could resist the might of the roman invasion of Britannia. This tough resistance together with the decay of the Rome were the reason that the legionnaires unwillingly abandoned the hope of capturing the far north of Britannia.
