The Real Life Castles of Bartizan

---

In Scotland there are exceptional castles, beyond the classic castles which overlook major cities like Stirling and Edinburgh. Though many tourist-leaning castles are maintained internally, here are Wallace Games, we believe that the run down, almost ruins are more grand and tell a richer story than these classic destinations.

In the development of Bartizans, our flagship card-game, we explored real castles to include in our game and this is a list of all the castles that were shortlisted. Some are more difficult to see than others but all are worth reading about.
