Located this castle where my ancestor, James Stewart, the Black Knight of Lorn was born to John Stewart of Bonkill & Elizabeth de Burgh (who was a descendent of Robert the Bruce). Sir John built Castle Stalker. I assume that their sons, Robert & James were born there.

James married Joan Beaufort, the widow of James I. There was some intrigue involved. However James and Joan were my forebears. Somehow it was exciting to find their castle.

According to Wiki, a scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail was filmed there!
