    I can see how this modern industrialized world full of technology to automate things and make things quickers, faster, more, easier has spoiled us. I also see how the next shift into A.I technology automated systems will make our current modern society look like a medieval way of doing things.

    For all snippy commentators you should understand the responsibility and sometimes burden that these old houses bring with them, for those that buy or inherit them it’s a lifelong job to upkeep them often with financial struggles as they require vast amounts of money to maintain them in the correct manner, it’s not for the faint hearted!

    Charles's mistake at Culloden was delaying the Highland Charge until after the English had set up their artillery. Had he launched the men before the English were ready, the House of Stewart, not the House of Hanover (now Windsor) would rule the UK.
