Cardiff
... luckily we were the only people on our tour! On the tour we learnt all about the history of the castle, what all the rooms were used for and the messages within the decorations. Many of the features of the rooms within the castle were purely for show - expressing the wealth and views of the third Marquess of Bute, John Patrick Chrichton-Stuart.
