Originally owned by the Currour family, it was purchased by the Ogilvies of Dunlugas in 1557 and became their main family seat.  The Ogilvies were staunch Royalists, which resulted in the castle coming under attack from the Covenanters in 1640.  George Ogilvy, 3rd Lord Banff was murdered in 1713 and his body hidden inside the castle, which was then set on fire.  The castle came under siege again in 1746, during the Jacobite rebellion.

  Title: Saltwood Castle
  Passage: Saltwood Castle is a castle in Saltwood village, one mile (2 km) north of Hythe, Kent, England.  Of 11th century origin, the castle was expanded in the 13th and 14th centuries.  After the Norman Conquest, the castle was appropriated by the Archbishop of Canterbury Lanfranc and remained the property of the archbishops, with some interruptions, until 1540, when Thomas Cranmer was compelled to cede it to Henry VIII.  The castle is reputed to have been the meeting place of the four knights who carried out the assassination of Thomas Becket in 1170.  By the 19th century, it was "largely ruinous" and restorations to make portions of the castle habitable were carried out in the 1880s and 1930s.  In the late 19th century, the castle was bought by an ancestor of Bill Deedes, the journalist and politician, who grew up there.  In the 20th century, it was sold to Sir Martin Conway who commissioned Philip Tilden to undertake a restoration.  In 1953, the castle was bought by the art historian Kenneth Clark (1903–1983), and then became the home of his son, the politician and diarist, Alan Clark (1928–1999).  It remains the private home of his widow, Jane Clark.  The castle is a Grade I listed building.
  Title: Edmund de Lacy, Baron of Pontefract
  Passage: Edmund de Lacy (c.1230–1258) was the son of John de Lacy, 2nd Earl of Lincoln.  When his father died in 1240 he inherited his father's titles and lands which included Baron of Pontefract, Baron of Halton, Lord of Bowland, and Constable of Chester.  As he was a minor his inheritance was held by him in wardship by his mother.  Normally his inheritance would have been held in wardship until he reached the age of majority (21).  However, Edmund was allowed to succeed his father at only 18 years of age.  He was heir to his mother Margaret de Quincy and on her death would have inherited the Earldom of Lincoln that vested in her.  (His father had only been Earl by rights of his wife.)  As he predeceased his mother he never became the Earl of Lincoln.

Possibly built around 1300, the castle was the location of military action during the Wars of Scottish Independence (1296–1357).

Mary, Queen of Scots was imprisoned here in 1567–1568, and forced to abdicate as queen, before escaping with the help of her gaoler's family.  In 1588, the Queen's gaoler inherited the title Earl of Morton, and moved away from the castle.  It was bought, in 1675, by Sir William Bruce, who used the castle as a focal point in his garden; it was never again used as a residence.
  Title: Esviken
  Passage: Esviken (formerly Esvigen) is a villa surrounded by an elaborate garden and a former agricultural property in Asker, Norway.  Industrialist Halvor Schou bought Løkenes farm with 1000 daa land in the late 1860s, and commissioned the villa, designed by famous architect Wilhelm von Hanno.  Esviken was used as a summer residence by Schou and his heirs.  His daughter Birgitte Halvordine Schou (b. 1857) was married to industrialist Einar Westye Egeberg, who inherited the villa and half of the property.  Their daughter Hermine Egeberg (1881–1974) was married from 1901 to Count Peder Anker Wedel-Jarlsberg.  Wedel-Jarlsberg was Lord Chamberlain for King Haakon VII of Norway from 1931 to 1945 and one of the King's closest confidants for over thirty year, and the King and Queen visited Esviken many times.  Esviken is also located in close proximity to Skaugum, owned by the royal family.  Their oldest son Herman Wedel-Jarlsberg, the later Count and owner of Jarlsberg, was born at Esviken in 1902.  Formally, Hermine and Peder Anker Wedel-Jarlsberg took over the property in 1930, but in reality, this happened around thirty years earlier.  The Wedel-Jarlsberg family extended the garden significantly.  In 1960, the property was inherited by their daughter Hedevig Wedel-Jarlsberg (1913–96), married Paus, and her husband Per (Christian Cornelius) Paus, who was himself a descendant of the Schou family (Halvor Schou's first cousin) and his wife's distant cousin.  In 1996, their children Cornelia Paus, Christopher Paus and Peder Nicolas Paus inherited the property.  It was sold to Asker municipality in 1999.  The villa and the garden was listed as a protected cultural heritage site by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage in 2006.
