Castle Sinclair Girnigoe was the home of the Sinclair family, Earls of Caithness.
Girnigoe Castle was built around the late 14th to early 15th centuries on a rocky promontory, and was defended on the landward side by great ditches, spanned by drawbridges. The main feature of this castle is a three or four storey tower house, probably completed towards the end of the 16th century although there are the remains of 15th century buildings beneath it. During a period of redevelopment at the castle in the early 17th century, George Sinclair (4th Earl) obtained an Act of Parliament to change the name from Castle Girnigoe to Castle Sinclair. However it appears that the two names became associated with different parts of the castle leading to the impression that there were two castles on the site.
The Campbells of Glenorchy briefly occupied the castle after emerging victorious from a battle with the Sinclairs. In 1680, George Sinclair of Keiss, who later became the 7th Earl, removed the Cambells by force, partially destroying the castle in the process.
From "swords to plowshares," following the Revolutionary war, the Founding Fathers took up farming with advice from British mentors like Sir John Sinclair, a Scotsman, Founder and President of the English Board of Agriculture and author of several books on the subject. The English Board maintained relations with 7 leaders in the newly independent United States: John Jay, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, Rufus King, Dr. Enoch Edwards, and William West -- these men were all made honorary members and exchanged letters with Sinclair and other gentlemen on the Board from 1793 - 1819, despite the many fluctuations of diplomatic relations between the 2 sometimes adversarial countries.
Following his negotiation of "Jay's Treaty" in November 1794, the ratification of which was pressed by George Washington himself, Jay returned to America; he brought back with him, and personally delivered, many agricultural books and letters from Sinclair and other English authors to his colleagues(one of these included a document for Washington from Archibald Cochrane, the ninth Earl of Dundonald, today considered a founder of Britain's chemical revolution - it was a treatise on the connection between Agriculture and Chemistry - these books are in the Boston Atheneum's collection.)
On July 10, 1795, Washington wrote to John Sinclair to "extend my sincere thanks for the views of agriculture in the different counties of Great Britain, which you have had the goodness to send me - and for the Diploma (received by the hands of Mr. Jay) admitting me a foreign honorary member of the board of agriculture."
Jay's personal correspondence with Sinclair included a letter dated November 7, 1797 where Jay expressed thanks for lessons shared. Jay describes his family's soil in Rye as "rich, being a black mould, on a strong loam, with clay under it & manured every year with Dung from the barn yard." In fact, contrary to the prevalent wisdom of crop rotation, one field in particular at the Jays' Rye farm was regularly planted with potatoes year after year, except during the Revolution years of 1776 - 1783, and it still yielded consistently good results.
But eschewing complacency, Jay decided to see if he could improve on success and proudly detailed his own experiment to Sinclair: "Last year I planted a small piece of ground (not rich, stiff and inclined to bake)...and the fact was, that the Rows where the Dung was placed over & upon the seed Potatoes yielded more than the Rows where the Dung was placed under them." John Jay owned or had studied many of these British books himself and undoubtedly thought the reasoning in chapters on "various modes of improving land " and "improved system of summer fallows" were worth consideration in the colonies, including Rye, New York.

British postcard in the Film Partners Series, London, no. PC 165. Photo: United Artists. Publicity still for Escape Me Never (Paul Czinner, 1935).
The profoundly sensitive acting of Austrian-British actress Elisabeth Bergner (1897 -1986) influenced the German cinema of the 1920s and 1930s. She specialised in a bisexual type that she portrayed in Der Geiger von Florenz and in other film and stage roles. Nazism forced her to go in exile, but she worked successfully in the West End and on Broadway.

The Sinclair Cambridge pocket calculator. One of the first and one of the best looking calculators EVER. Well, after the Sinclair Executive, anyway.
My wife bought me this for my birthday in 1973. It cost £24.95 or about $37. That was more than a weeks wage!! Within less than a year they were selling for £4.95 or $7.50.
It has a red LED display and takes 4 AA batteries which needed replacing frequently. I still have it - and several others and it still works.
