9. Stirling Castle (UK)
斯特林城堡(英国)
Princesses in castles do not have to be happy. Stirling Castle – arguably Scotland’s most photogenic, even if Edinburgh Castle is more famous – was one of the backdrops to the life of a tragic figure. It was here that Mary Queen of Scots – destined to be beheaded at the order of her own cousin Elizabeth I – spent her childhood in the 1540s. Resplendent on a volcanic crag, it still surveys the valley of the River Forth with as keen an eye as it did during the Middle Ages, when it was besieged eight times. Its tormented former resident is said to haunt it – forever weighed down by her troubles.
城堡中的公主不一定是快乐的,有一位悲剧人物就曾经居住在斯特林城堡中——斯特林城堡大概是苏格兰最适宜拍照的城堡,虽然爱丁堡城堡更为出名。就是在这里,苏格兰玛丽女王在16世纪40年代度过了她的童年,这位女王后来被她的表姐伊丽莎白一世下令砍头。这座壮丽的城堡坐落在一个火山峭壁上,用敏锐的目光俯瞰着福斯河谷,一如在中世纪时那样。斯特林城堡在中世纪时曾被围攻八次。这座城堡饱受折磨的旧主人据说还阴魂不散,因苦大仇深而永远得不到解脱。
10. Warwick Castle (UK)
华威城堡(英国)
Now owned by Merlin Entertainments and run (very successfully) as a family-friendly tourist attraction, it can easily be forgotten that Warwick Castle was once a formidable fortress – founded by William the Conqueror in 1068, as a new regime set a seal on its blood-won authority. It grew to be one of the great houses of England, the seat of the Earls of Warwick – but for all its hard-edged might, it was always a handsome devil, admiring its reflection in the River Avon. It is still very much a charming man, even when hundreds of children are running around it. Indeed, that is half the fun. Modern families can create their own fairytales by visiting the Princess Tower, which comes with as much sparkle and stardust as said name suggests. Castle admission costs from £13 per person.
