My Grandmother worked in this castle as a children's nanny in the 1910-1920 period (not sure of the exact dates). There was a castle ghost (of course!) that my grandmother swore all her life that she had seen, although she always said that the ghost seemed "friendly". It's such a shame that the house was runined by fire and also that the theme park could not pay its way. What will become of the castle in the next 100 years I wonder?

Huh?

What the hell? I came here to look for information on the castle, not a theme park! Lianachan (talk) 01:49, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it should be split into two pages, one for Loudoun Castle, and one for Loudoun Castle Theme Park? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zcomuto (talk • contribs) 17:29, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. Loudoun Castle is not a theme park, Loudoun Castle Theme Park is. Loudoun Castle has a long & important history, both locally and nationally - the article at present wholly misrepresents the castle in this respect.

I think someone should write a proper article, if nobody does I'll come back to it myself at some point. I'm trying to get the local pages up to scratch but this is far from the worst (e.g. read the Loudoun article).

The park has now closed (as of last week), I don't think it's necessary to have a seperate page for the theme park, just a mention on a properly written Loudoun Castle page.

Split

I have split the article into a new page on Loudoun Castle (theme park), and this page on Loudoun Castle, to address the above concerns. Thanks, Jonathan Oldenbuck (talk) 11:56, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How Ruined?

No word on why and how the castle became a wreck and who owned it when that happened. I heard it was destroyed in a fire in 1941. That's something that should definitely be in the article, together with a little detail on what happened between the 1890s and the eventual dereliction of the house.

My thoughts exactly. Why is it ruined? Was it overtaken by a sudden calamity such as a fire (as stated above) or the decline of the fortune of its family and subsequent fall into decay? 72.106.153.181 (talk) 00:33, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
