Not only privately owned but a listed property
by Historic Scotland and such drastic excavations as might be required to expose
the suits of armour or other artifacts would have to pass muster in that
bailiwick as well. Like so many things in this world, it does work like
Mickey Rooney shouting with an irrepressible grin "Hey, let's put on
a show!" or in this context "Hey let's dig up some suits of
armour" And if you think its unusual, try digging for artifacts
around Stonehenge, or Notre Dame de Paris or at the site of the Battle of the
Little Bighorn. Private ownership is only the beginning of the
issue, set rules for archaelogical excavations and undending bureaucratic
red-tape are just a couple of others.
Would that it were not so
complex but it seems it's a condition of that business called life.

willed us!
