Greetings, friends. And how are you this pleasant evening?

V_K: I'm afraid a group shot won't be possible, sadly, as the first three have gone to be incorporated into the railway layout of a friend. C'est la vie.

The Fortified House

The model is of what is now known as Claypotts Castle, near Dundee, but could also be called a fortified manor house. It's defenses were formidable. The ground floor is windowless and has only one entrance guarded by shot-holes, two imposing drum towers look over the rectangular part of the building and two cap houses afford a splendid view all around, as well as providing extra living space. It was probably never besieged and it's presence encouraged the development of a thriving agricultural economy in the area.

Mr Allen had dispensed with colour printing on this one and he was also joined by a Mr Keith Robson, who is credited with the artwork.

The Palace Gatehouse

The Royal Palace of Falkland was the hangout of the Stuart monarchs whilst they were hunting in the Fife Forest. Originally a medieval castle, it was improved and expanded by both James IV and James V into a Renaissance palace any king would be proud of. Perhaps the "Auld Alliance" between Scotland and France made it possible to import French master masons who gave the palace a chateau-like appearance. It was used by royalty as a bolthole during troubled times and was where James V had his deathbed.

Palace website: Falkland Palace | National Trust for Scotland

The model features only the gatehouse, and is another collaboration between Mesrs. Allan and Robson, published in 1980. It is the sixth, and as far as I know, the last in the "Houses of Scotland" series. If you've been following the thread I hope you've enjoyed the little trip.

It only remains for me to quote Ethel Barrymore: "That's all there is, there isn't any more".
