Jack, Okay, I Googled up "Castle Duninsane" and nothing came up. It gave the suggestion for "Dunsinane", which was Macbeth's final redoubt in Shakespeare's Macbeth. Since I am clan MacBeth (and MacKinnon), I borrowed the name from that scurrillous bit of Sassenacht propaganda and switched the letters a bit to better reflect our not-so-stately manor. In the Auld Language (the Gaelic), "dun" means "hill", which is appropriate since there are very few level pieces of ground here, as the manor house sits on the side of a hill which slopes down to a creek before going back up into the very steep hill on the back end of our 18.5 acres. The "insane" part sort of speaks for itself, right? Mikey, Thane of Duninsane |

Dawg, Hot damn, maybe you ran across a travel log piece that stole Mikey's logo and he's in line for a patent infringment settlement. Being the show was in the land of blarney, the case in court would have much difficulty in determining who was more full of it, the whole country of Ireland or Mikey! |
