No doubt six hundred other people will tell you that the castle of mey
fell into a fairly sad state form it was rescued by the Queen Mother (
the mother of the present Queen. Elizabeth) It is now the Queen Mother's
far north holiday home with a most beautiful garden.
I ;ive in Scotland and my mother was a Caithness Sinclair.
