In about 1540 it passed by marriage to the Livingstones, who built an extension at the south west. They also built an extension along the south east wall in 1586. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Undiscovered Scotland )〕 When James Livingstone was created Baron Livingstone of Almond in 1633 the castle’s name was changed to Almond from Haining. After the Jacobite rising of 1715 the castle was forfeited to the crown〔 by the Livinsgstone Earls of Callendar. It was abandoned in the 1750s.〔 In 1783 the ruin was sold to William Forbes by the York Buildings Company.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Almond Castle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
