One bit I would mention, when he wore the kilt was I noticed he wore a belt even though he wore a vest under his coat. It just didn't look right & kept bugging me! Oh well...
Okay, got home from work, tossed in my tape and here are the other 3 castles:
Athelhampton Manor (Dorset)
Longleat (Wiltshire) home to the Lord Bath &
Kentwell Hall (Suffolk)

Just curious if the Chief's family has been the only residents of Duntrune, & if you know how long?
I ask because Cawdor has been continuously inhabited for over 600 years by the Thanes of Cawdor.
