gormac hi there i have just purchased LAW CASTLE in west kilbride scotland and the locals tell me that there was an escape tunnel goes from the castle to about 150yds away from it. it would be good if anybody new about it
thanks DH
Galla Many escape routes of that time were usually built to lead from a storage room of sorts (usually through a trap door) or even through a blind panel in one of the chambers for means of escape. Unfortunately, many castles have been changed throughout time and it may no longer be accessable. Look for anything that may have changed. Also blueprints may have been stored at a public information storage. I would check there.
Best of luck..and congrats on the castle!
Levan Hope you thoroughly enjoy Law Castle. I looked at it many times during it's development - very impressive. I used to own nearby Castle Levan, which would have been on the market much the same time as Law.
All the best.
Peter As Galla has said, not an impossible thing.
Much depended on the type of terrain. Many such tunnels just collapsed on themselves due to bad construction.
Many tunnels would now hold water if they existed.
Try dowsing to find it.
Not joking, have a bash at it yourself.
I can assure you it does work. I nearly had a fit when I felt the rods move in my hands.
Just used a couple of welding rods bent over.
Galla Sowsing is a most wonderful tool to use. Since the ground contains a certain energy pattern of it's own, any disruption of sorts - such as a tunnel - would posses a different energy signature. Great idea!
