ScotlandsFest: The Queen’s Bahookie and Other Tales From Scotland’s Castles

Who saw the Queen’s Bahookie? Which castle had an annual rent of one red rose? Which maiden was most feared by Scottish aristocrats? Which job is worse – turnbrochie or pigeon-plucker? Which castle is associated with flying cows? What treasure was brought to the surface by a mole? Who would want to marry Archibald the Grim? Robin turns his poetic and storytelling attention to tales he found in various crumbling castle walls; the plotting and shenanigans of royals and aristocrats over centuries, and a few other titbits.
