Let's see what might be fun.

*Terrifying* stairwell in a defensive castle - at least this one had a window. They were designed so that right-handed defenders, coming down the stairs, had an advantage over right-handed attackers coming up the stairs. I kept thinking about women in long dresses and little kids getting up and down these things. Yikes.

Irish elk rack. These were, even when they adorned the ancient castle, relics found persevered in peat. The peat caused the blackening.

A castle something. :-)

Opening from a murder room.
