You know, in a similar thread elsewhere I had shared that I'd go back to Calgary, at least for a weekend, to revisit some old haunts. That said and done, perhaps it's time for some new haunts.

I'm thinking Scotland, and some of it's old, old castles, and the ghosts and stories they'd contain. I'd love to go on a castle tour, driving all over Scotland solely to spend a full day in each and every castle I could find, the older and more time ravaged the better.

Scotland has some pretty nice ones, but, I believe it is Wales that has the most per square inch. Let's use inches, Wales is small! It has approximately 600 castles, and don't you know there is a medieval narrative behind them, from the Romans, Royals of Britain, or some dashing former Welsh prince. As a whole, going to the UK itself has a ton of them, but Germany had so many! I actually did a castle tour, self-imposed and long ago and far away. My favorite was everyone's, I am sure. Neuschwanstein, which looked like something out of Walt Disney was truly amazing.

I don't think you can go wrong at any castle. They are all unique in some way.

And amazing. Did I already say that?

You did say that! Castles are pretty incredible.

Interestingly, the Walt Disney castle was modeled after Castle Segovia in Spain, which happens to have been the one castle that I have actually visited!

That is so interesting! All the Google articles swear it is Neuschwanstein! But, I wouldn't argue either way. I didn't get to the one in Spain, but, heard it was another one that was worthy of a visit.

Personally, most of them are!

I put trust in Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcázar_of_Segovia. But, y'know, all castles are awesome, and it was probably all the castles. If I had the money to spend to do it, I'd completely redo the facade of my house to look like a castle.

Then again, if I had the money to do that, I might be able to actually buy my own castle.
