Castle Menzies

Behold some real estate my family bought in Scotland a while ago. Did it up real nice.

Back of the castle is a ruined garden wall. In centuries past it was the botanical garden of the great botanist Archibald Mingus (that is how you are meant to pronouce Menzies). I am told that relics of Dr. Mingus' second Candian expedition are still on display in the Vancouver museum.
