It’s a 16th-century Scottish fortress which once thrived amid war, attack and treason, but now parts of Craignethan Castle have been abandoned because of a somewhat different invader – a “very angry badger”.
Historic Scotland was forced to shut tunnels which are popular with the public after staff discovered the unexpected guest. “If you’re heading to #CraignethanCastle over the next few days you might find the Cellar Tunnel closed due to the presence of a very angry badger,” the heritage organisation tweeted. “We’re trying to entice it out with cat food and send it home.”
It did not elaborate on why the badger was angry, but it is thought the animal may live in surrounding woodland and became lost.
[I blame it on Brexit.]
