Famous resident: Mary Bruce, sister of Robert, King of Scots, was held in secure apartments in this tower, to be returned much later by Edward II after Bannockburn https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/55070608431/in/photostream/lightbox/
A bit of Scottish history in an English castle...

Be prepared for a *lot* of steep flights of stone steps, especially if you intend to wind your way through the levels to the roof of the keep (very tiring but amazing views, sadly not good if you have mobility problems though - Medieval builers didn't factor that in)

The try on hats in #newcastlecastle are class tho.
I can either be a guard afraid of revolution, one of the three musketeers coming to Newcastle to save Charles I, a brawling woman, a policeman who got beaten up, or a baker who got robbed but secretly hid alcohol in his basement.
Is "they say you can learn a lot by walking a mile in their shoes. Why not try on their hats instead?"an old #northumbrian saying I don't understand?
