Destruction[edit]

My parents visited Crawford Castle in 2002 (I think), when the Earl of Crawford Lord Lindsay invited the entire world's Lindsay's and Crawford's in for tea. I wish I had attended; I had some good reasons not to at the time, which in retrospect now strike me as rather stupid.

The castle is surrounded by a fence, with signs advising that it is unsafe.

According to my father, an "irate tenant farmer" dynamited it.

I don't have a citation. My father had a well-developed sense of humour so I would be unsurprised to learn that he had been pulling my leg. But if it's true that it was dynamited by a farmer, that ought to be mentioned in the article. 73.164.159.232 (talk) 14:09, 10 March 2015 (UTC) User_Talk:MichaelCrawford[reply]

You haven't explained in what way the coordinates are erroneous. I've adjusted them; but if you still think that there is an error, you'll need to supply a clear explanation of what it is. Deor (talk) 15:29, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
