The pillbox has bee built in the grounds of the old castle. I should have thought that the castle would have provided just as much protection for the defenders and was immediately available.
A friend, who had served in the army, once said to me when we were visiting this castle, "I'd have had that tree cut down as it restricts the field of fire." And he's absolutely right.
There is a wall and turrest on the shore of Kinloch castle and I wonder if Gerge Bullough had a lookout posted watching out for any unwelcome guests.

No. 2 - 5:- Exploring Rochester - Rochester Castle - Castle Walls and Defences
City of Great Expectations - Charles Dickens..
Castle Walls and Defences
The first stone castle built on this site in 1088 consisted simply of a high wall enclosing a number of timber buildings. The ruins of this wall remains, along with some of the additions and alterations, which increased its strength and usefulness over the years. Edward III was responsible for many of these, after a series of surveys revealed major defects in the fabric of the 14th century castle.
In front of you are some of the results of Edward's work. From 1367-70 his builders reconstructed the 11th century wall here and added two towers. The one nearest the keep stands on earlier (12th century) and straddles the wall. The other was brand new and projects fully out towards the castle ditch. It is also much more elaborate with internal vaulting and garderobes (latrines). Their filled openings can be seen fro the castle ditch.

'Magnificent ruin!...What a study for an antiquarian!'
The impressive Norman castle at Rochester had a humbling effect upon Dickens, reminding him perhaps of his own mortality. In Household Words he wrote: 'I surveyed the massive ruin from the Bridge, and thought what a brief little practical joke I seemed to be, in comparison with the solidarity, stature, strength and length of life.' In Dickens' time the castle looked very different. Houses and workshops filled much of the moat by the cathedral, the keep and towers were festooned with ivy and the waters of the River Medway lapped the base of the walls. - Guidemap

The thistle is an amazing plant when you look at it up close. I have to spend a bit more time to decide which type this one is.

Chair of the Government Task Force on Emergency Planning, Defence Minister Simon Coveney ,Transport Minister Paschal Donohoe and Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Paudie Coffey jointly launched the Government’s ‘Be Winter-Ready’ 2014-2015 Information Campaign at the National Emergency Coordination Centre in Dublin. Also in attendance were representatives from the various Departments and Agencies tasked with emergency planning and response.
Through a dedicated website www.winterready.ie, advice is being made available from a number of sources including Government Departments and Agencies, An Garda Síochána, the Health Service Executive, the Office of Public Works, Local Authorities and the transport providers. The advice has been categorised under various headings including: the Home, Road Safety, Schools, the Farming Community and the Business Sector. A synopsis of the information available has been compiled into a redesigned “Be Winter Ready” booklet, which can be downloaded from the website.
The main objectives of the ‘Be Winter-Ready’ information campaign are:
· To provide practical advice on how best to prepare for the coming winter.
· To ensure the public are aware of where advice and help can be found, if needed, and
· To reassure the public that preparations are being made and arrangements have been put in place to ensure that there will be a coordinated response to severe weather events.
In addition, the Office of Emergency Planning will be regularly tweeting during the winter period to augment the ‘Be Winter Ready’ campaign. The twitter account can be followed on @emergencyIE and the public are being encouraged to join in the conversation at #bewinterready.
All of the Ministers stressed that the main message that they wish to convey today is –
“to be prepared, stay safe and know where to find help if you need it.”
