	Glossary of Castle Terms
		Castles also went through some very bad periods in the last 300 years, so that there are very few that can be seen in their original state, apart from those that were restored (Windsor, for example) or never destroyed (Tower of London) or never bothered with (Appleby?).
		Most castles, except the ones still used by the military, or the ones that are still lived in (however uncomfortably), have no use any more, if it weren't for their attractiveness to visitors and seekers of the picturesque.

		It is, however, necessary to detour up an alley out of the main Peel, along the Blackness road for a short way, and into the Peel at Fiddler’s Croft.
