Comments

[edit]

Great work as usual with this article. I only have some minor comments:

  • "the Isles had been Royalist supporters" - this sounds a bit odd (eg, that the islands were supporting the Royalists) - perhaps tweak it to something like "the leaders of the Isles were supporters of..."?
  • "made from massive pieces of rubble" - was the rubble from a previous construction, or was this local rock?
  • It might be worth noting that the castle is, according to English Heritage, one of "few surviving Cromwellian fortifications in Britain" Nick-D (talk) 03:14, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
