[MR] Scottish Poisoning Castle Remembered

[Garth Groff via Atlantia]

Noble Friends, Especially Fellow Scots:

Today the BBC is reporting on a remembrance for the now-lost Helmsdale 
Castle, which sadly was demolished in the 1970s to build a bridge. The 
castle was the site of a triple murder by poison in 1567 that is said to 
be in the inspiration of Shakespeare's HAMLET. You can read the story 
and see photos of the ruins at 
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-39869409 .

We Scots never do anything by halves when it comes to knocking off our 
rivals.

Yours Aye,


Mungo Napier, Laird of Mallard Lodge
