One of Trixie's most graceful moves. It happens SO fast that it's rare for me to catch in focus and in frame. Today was another lucky day to catch such a lucky shot.
You may remember under the Rev. John Thomson's painting, I mentioned the line of corbel stones along the wall-head, that once supported a parapet. Well here they are! But as any student of architecture will know, they are upside down! The keep, as painted by Rev. Thomson, was badly damaged when it was struck by lightning during a great storm in 1871. The fact that this massive chunk of masonry survived the fall is a tribute to the quality of the lime mortar used!
The blurry white building in the far distance is the Torness nuclear power station.

Robert Logan 7th of Restalrig, grandson of Sir Robert Logan and Elizabeth Home, and son of Robert Logan and Dame Agnes Gray, obtained possession of his father's lands in 1576, 15 years after his father's death, on reaching the age of 21. He immediately began disposing of various lands and properties - something he was to continue doing for the rest of his life.
Also in 1576, he married Elizabeth M'Gill, daughter of David M'Gill, advocate, of Lochcotes, Nisbet, and Cranstoun Riddell, but they were later divorced.
A transaction is recorded in the Register of the Great Seal under the date 13th May 1580, in which the King willed that Robert Logan should pay, within seven years, a sum of £3380 to John Lumsden of Blanerne. He was cited at an address over the north side of the loch of Restalrig, where he commonly had his residence, and at the castle and fortress of Fast Castle, where he had his residence at the time with his retainers and family.
In 1584, the Privy Council ordered "Dame Agnes Hume, Mr Thomas Lyoun of Balduky (the Master of Glamis), now her spouse, and Robert Logane of Restalrig, keepers of the castle of Fast castell, to deliver it to the King's officers within six hours after being charged, on pain of treason."
About 1586, he seems to have married again. His wife at the time of his death in 1606 was Marion Ker.
A daughter (to Logan of Restalrig) was christened at Fast Castle in May 1590 attended by the Earl of Bothwell and Lord Home.
In 1593, Logan got into increasing trouble with the law. On 12th February, having failed to appear to answer "upoun his treasounable conspyring, consulting, trafficquing, and divising with Frances, sometyme Erll Bothuill," he was denounced rebel. In the same year, "under silence of the night," he took, from William Nisbet of Newton, gold and silver to the value of 3000 merks.
In 1594, in one of the acts he is most remembered for, Logan called in the (alleged) magician, John Napier of Merchiston, to help find treasure said to be hidden within Fast Castle. Searching for hidden treasure, by supernatural means, was occasionally practiced in those days. The origin of the treasure, if it ever existed, is not known, but one wonders whether it was connected with the jewelry that had belonged to Mary Queen of Scots and was given by William Kirkcaldy of Grange to Logan's mother, as security for the loan she had given him.
In 1597-8, Logan had dealings with George Ker, the Catholic intriguer with Spain, on whose person the famous "Spanish blanks" were found.
