  • Length is fine and the article was created today. Offline references accepted in good faith and partially verified via the snippet search on Google Books. I'm uncertain about the hook; while the source and other sources repeat the claim about David Gregory and the barometer (I assume the father of this David Gregory?), our article on the barometer credits its invention to several Italians and no mention is made of Scottish involvement. Can you clarify this? Mackensen (talk) 01:57, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the point:
Alt 1: that Kinnairdy Castle was once owned by a man accused of witchcraft? Matty.007 09:52, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
alt hook is good. Added "once" to clarify past ownership. Mackensen (talk) 01:12, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
