Nick,

> Can we learn anything about modern security from Scottish castles?

Funny you should ask! When we visited Edinburgh Castle we were evacuated mid-way due to high winds. We jokingly wondered if the castle was so poor that it couldn’t stand it. But the real reason was the all to familiar British “Health and Safety” regulations ;)

Physical security in the form of castles is very easy to test. You provoke someone and they send their army for penetration testing. The incentives for good security are also in the right place… the outcome of a breach is that the designer is hanged, drawn and quartered!

Thank you all for your comments!

When my father was at university, he once went to a lecture only to discover that no other students had turned up. The lecturer went ahead, arguing that his one student should not be denied what he had come for.

So I hope you keep on, even if the audience is small. Your blog has an atmosphere more suited to small groups, anyway.
