Inside the castle were objects that you’d expect to see in a
stately home. There were polished cups on large tables in roped-off areas,
portraits on the walls and plush chairs and chandeliers. Oddly, one of the framed
things was an old, tattered piece of tapestry. This was the Fairy Flag which
was gifted to the clan by the King of the Fairies and is the sole reason for
the clan’s family history. Why it was given is unknown and is more likely pillaged
from some other clan. It may just be the oldest thing in the museum’s
collection. The view from the castle terrace isn’t that impressive until you
get to the ramparts and see the adjoining islands, unfortunately the family
still reside in the castle so the upper areas are restricted. But they do bring
a sense of fun in exploring the castle by installing wax figures of servants
hidden in the passages. They may give you a bit of a shock.
