Travel Guide

Stobo Castle. Centrepiece of the estate, and now an upmarket, very upmarket "health farm". Taken quickly as the "Can I Help Yous" bore down on me.

Empty field. Stobo Castle. Enclosure without any biologically insecure livestock, Stobo Castle. Notice threatening sign aimed at the guests in the distance. I wonder what was in here that could be made ill by photography? - probably deer, needing protection from disturbance.. I take it I won't be hauled up in front of the Sheriff for photographing the grass?
