Once Upon A Time

There used to be a Castle here.  Now there's a phoney castle, which was once a model prison, and is now a museum.  It's the highest place in town, a vantage point.  Look south and you can see the road that crosses the border - and there were plenty of invading forces back in the day. So many that the King eventually had the castle demolished to save himself the bother of defending it.  There's a moral there, somewhere.

Today's Mono Monday theme is 'vantage'.  Thank you, JohnEdward for another tricky one.

In Extras, the view looking north from the castle, and one of the cats, first thing this morning.  They're still in love with those cardboard boxes, though Douggie is bursting out of his, and Percy's is beginning to fray.
