It’s pretty hard to come up with my favourite castles in Scotland as there are so many from which to choose. Sometimes it’s the location of the castle that’s the attraction as opposed to the interior of the castle. However as I like getting off the beaten track my choice of castles reflects this. Tantallon Castle, East Lothian Tantallon Castle, East Lothian Tantallon Castle lies 3 miles east of North Berwick in East Lothian. around 20 miles east of Edinburgh. The Castle was built in the 14th century as a fortress. We visited Tantallon Castle for the first time a couple of weeks ago. ... Read Full Story

The morning of 12 July 1886 brought the sad news to the surprised citizens of small Bavarian village Berg. From the waters of lake Starnberg was taken the body of the man recognised as king Ludwig II of Bavaria. It was hard to believe into the accident, as just three days before the king was forced to abdicate after being verdicted 'insane' by the medics in the presence of the Royal Court. Was he really 'Mad', or everything was just a plot by unwilling kings opponents, we cannot say today. But we know for sure, that this king had the passion of buildings. Below ... Read Full Story

If you're ever in Ayrshire in Scotland, make sure you have a stop of at the village of Dunure . It's a great little place just a ten to fifteen minute drive south of Ayr. I must confess that there's not really much to it. Dunure is a traditional fishing village and it's current form dates back to the early 1800s. It has a small, stone walled harbour (with three swans in residence who aren't afraid to have a swim out to sea), a few little streets, some houses (as you would expect) and a nice little Inn called.... the Dunure Inn of course! ...

Donegal Castle c. 1890 - 1900 Located in the very center of Donegal town in County Donegal, Donegal Castle — or O’Donnell’s Castle — underwent extensive restorations in the late 1990s, bringing it back from the near ruin in which it had sat for the greater part of the past two centuries. It now makes a wonderful attraction for tourists who don’t mind traveling a little out of their way in order to see the truly unique— as so many if Ireland’s castles are. Donegal Castle was built at the start of the sixteenth century by the O’Donnell family chieftain . The O’Donnells had ... Read Full Story

When we think of Medieval Castles there is a dark a secretive feeling that we feel. A Medieval Castle was a castle, but it was also a place with a history, a place that had secrets and secret passages. It was a place where tremendous battles were fought to the death by knights. Let’s Take a [...] Read Full Story

Frankly, Crystal Castles front woman Alice Glass is a little terrifying. It isn’t the layers of black eye shadow that give her gaze a naturally sinister gleam that does it. It’s not her goth-influenced black outfits. It isn’t her “Behind the Music”-ready story as a teenage-runaway-turned-indie-princess. It’s not even her madcap stage antics that make her such an intimidating presence. No, it’s that otherworldly howl — a high-pitched guttural...

Photo of Chromeo by Dakota Blue Harper There were plenty of concert options last week to celebrate Halloween, but none may have been quite as raucous as the Freaky Deaky show held Friday night at Congress Theatre. Featuring Chromeo, Crystal Castles and Boys Noize, the night was filled with sweaty bodies, inebriation, surely some illegal substances and, of course, copious amounts of fancy footwork. There are dance parties and then there are...

Pictured is the Castle Doria-Malaspina that sits pretty on top of the village of Calice al Cornoviglio in Italy's Liguria region, which we recently visited. Dank and dreary castles might be all the rage for that Halloween party, where you might drink some grog and eat ghoulish food--but this ain't it. The castle is host to a Locanda which just happens to have a facebook page where you'll find the menu for their Halloween party. To start there...

Being hopelessly sentimental about Christmas — and particularly fond of Christmas carols — I found myself humming ‘Good King Wenceslas’ as I packed for a recent trip to Prague, where I had every intention of starting my Christmas shopping. You can’t visit Prague without bumping into the Christian martyr St Wenceslas — the Czech nation’s patron saint — who was murdered by his power-hungry pagan brother in 935. In a city filled with symbolism...
