Dear Judith,

The five which are relevant to the Sinclairs are the books on the Castles and
Fortified Structures of Scotland and, as the Sinclairs had Castles in every
Region, you would need to get the complete set to cover all the Sinclair 
Castles.

I had hoped (when time permitted) to be able to take relevant extracts from his
books (supplemented by additional information from McGibbons and Ross about
the same buildings); add a bit of Sinclair family history and distribute it 
to Sinclairs
  worldwide (at cost).

I began this work some years ago but, as my business continues to grow, I have
less and less free time and there is no telling if it will ever get done 
because I am
now 77 years of age and, if I ever retire, the retirement is likely to be 
of a very short
duration.

In haste,

Niven
