More stories from the Castle

Urquhart Castle occupies a significant place in Scottish history. While at the castle, Dianne and I had the opportunity to listen to fellow who was dressed as a medieval warrior speak eloquently about the castle history and further elaborate on Scottish history. Someone in our group asked about William Wallace and his relationship to the castle. “Oh, I guess you’ve seen Braveheart” he replied. He goes on to explain that the movie Braveheart was not well received in Scotland due to its historical inaccuracy. He went on to debunk everything from plot line, wardrobe, hairstyles and character relationships, to the fake Scottish accents. He had a convincing rebuttal! My impression is that if you managed to screw something up, you should refer to it as a Mel, and if you turned in into a total abomination, that would be doing the full Mel Gibson. So far on this trip I’ve had a few Mels but hopefully I will avoid a full Mel Gibson.Okumaya devam et
