Talk:Castles in Scotland

20th century
Thanks for a great article, firstly! I strongly disagree that most castles are now public - a lot may be publically accessible but that's different. HS and NTS own less than 100 castles between them, probably less than 10% of the total. Councils own a few more but the vast majority are in private hands/on private land. I've taken the liberty of expanding the 20th century section to add more detail on this. Hope its OK and up to GA quality! Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 17:40, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I thought I had already removed the "most" bit, and I am sure you are right. It is a bit tricky as it depends of the definition of castle and I think the book I was using was thinking only of standing medieval baronial castles. The additional material is just what is needed for that section, but that I couldn't find, so many thanks for that.--  SabreBD  (talk ) 17:51, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Another source?
Might http://discovery.dundee.ac.uk/portal/files/1223344/Inglis_phd_2011.pdf be a useable additional source? SovalValtos (talk) 11:22, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
