Information / details required

[edit]
  • Which Comyn son drowned in the well near the castle? Was the Chapel actually built because of this?
  • Are there any accurate and specific construction dates for the castle or chapel (rather than educated guesses)?
  • Did "Walter Comyn" (one of William Comyns sons) have anything to do with the castle (his name sometimes crops up on google searches on the subject).
  • Where is William Comyn recored as gifting wax to the chapel- is this in the Book of Deer?
  • Does the "great storm" of 1720 have a specific name in historical accounts (that would make it easier to trace in relation to destruction and damage etc..)?
  • Who conducted the 1980s excavations, are there any books available?
  • Are there any public domain images of:
  1. the castles floor plan?
  2. a photo of Castlehill?

Book referencing

[edit]

I am finding trouble getting ISBN numbers for most books- mainly from Google Books. I can find an OCLC number but am not able to match them to ISBN... both would be great if anyone can help!?!? Bobbacon 09:03, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
