| Dougie,
what sort of tabs were you on that night??
I can recommend a good furniture removals firm...sounds like an
amateur job to me.

*Tiger*
ps....I always used to dream about burning down castles....I must
have been reading too much Tolkien at the time!
Incidentally VERGA::STANLEY, a good dream interpretor would have
some comments to make about your castle dreams. These dreams would
indicate that you were going through a period of turmoil and wished
to cut off whatever was causing the turmoil. In the dream, staying in
the castle means that you feel safe hidden behind high walls, a moat,
portcullis etc...safe from whatever was bothering you. Perhaps you felt
that if you hid in the castle, then the troubling influence would
eventually pass and leave you alone.
This form of retreat is commonly called 'hedgehogging'...it refers
to curling yourself into a ball to protect yourself from a stressor.
It does not always work,,,eg sometimes the hedgehog gets run over by a
car when it would be still alive if it had run away...

Ahah! So it's your fault. We know what these thoughts can do... ;^)

Thank you... that was very interesting... and probably rather accurate.

Once I came home to find a window smashed and my stereo gone.
Do you think... ?

| Did this really happen or did you have too much beer at the local
pub??? I am planning a trip to Scotland in May and I might check it
out.
Is it in Edinburg or is it in a smaller town???
Do you know of any other HAUNTED castles?

| It was a very well organised hoax. Three students (Richard Hamilton,
Chris Smith and Dougie Nisbet) drove to this remote castle, equipped
with ropes and determination.
After half an hour we finally managed to get one of the ropes to catch
on to the barbed wire around the top of the wall. We climbed up,
negotiated the wire, and set to work.
We were briefly and dramatically interrupted by a flock (flock?) of
bats which flew down a spiral staircase as we climbed it. Even a
sceptic like me doesn't take easily to the interests of bats in
dark castles at a time well after midnight.
The trickiest bit of the whole escapade was getting back out without
leaving any tell tale rope behind. It was up to me to be last out, and
I dropped the rope, and 'dreeped' heavily to the ground. It was quite a
drop.
Dizzy with success, we set off to climb Carnethy, but decided after a
few yards that it was time for bed.

| I very much doubt if we could've done it if we were drunk. There was
more than a little advance planning.

| Dougie are all Scots that mischievous. I meet some Scots and that
sounds like something they would do.....
I give you and your friends credit, that was very creative stunt

| Dougie,
Be thankful that you encountered the bats *after* they were in flight.
A bat prepares for flight by, uh, divesting itself of its digestive
waste products. (This is a known hazard of spelunking.)
