I question the source of the statement that this building is " ....modelled on the ancestral Dunsmuir estate in Scotland." Robert Dunsmuir came from a reasonably prosperous family in Scotland, but nothing I have read so far would indicate there was anything like a "Dunsmuir estate". Is there a source for this statement?

  • Removed noted text. My reading and info reviewed on tour of building do not contain any such info. KenWalker | Talk 01:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Sounds good. When I toured there last year, they had a whole room dedicated to the history of the place but, in the middle of a mostly-guided tour, I didn't have time to pore over all of it. I don't remember hearing that statement during that tour. I bet you could inquire with the museum society that owns it and get some accurate info. (BTW I have more pictures of the place that I need to find and post on Commons. Stay tuned for those.) —Wknight94 (talk) 11:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is this a Copy Vio?

This edit looks to me like a wholesale copy of the brochure that visitors to the castle receive. I can't put my hand on a copy of it, but if I am right, it should be deleted as a copyright violation. I have asked the editor who made the changes to comment at User_talk:Heidishiu. --KenWalker | Talk 03:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
