Will do. When I do find it, I'll take lots of photos. One will probably be of the security guard escorting me off the property.

Runs over the neighbor’s stumps...Why are you not supposed to know about this?
No, but now, I'm gonna have to go to that one, too.Oh. Are you talking about Zalandia Castle? It’s right down the road from Helen’s Bridge in Asheville. Just gotta turn left at the fifth stump.

I wonder how Blowing Rock got its name?No, but now, I'm gonna have to go to that one, too.
The castle I'm talking about is in Blowing Rock.
Do you want the real legend, or the Brains version?I wonder how Blowing Rock got its name?
The Castle HotelNo, but now, I'm gonna have to go to that one, too.

I know that place well......That's the road my uncle Skip lives on.The Castle Hotel
205 Sampson Rd
Boone, NC 28607
It was torn down years ago and all that remains are a few overgrown parking lots.
Was it Brains that told you about this elusive castle from Scotland?I know that place well......That's the road my uncle Skip lives on.
Before it was The Castle Hotel, it was the Aho Motel. Beautiful stone building sitting at the top of the hill.
A developer bought the property, tore down all the buildings, then went bankrupt.
When I was a kid, I wanted to live in the Aho Motel.
This isn't the castle I'm looking for. The one I'm after was moved here stone by stone from Scotland.
Oh Lord, no! You can't trust anything Brains says!!Was it Brains that told you about this elusive castle from Scotland?
LOL. That's why I asked.Oh Lord, no! You can't trust anything Brains says!!
I read an article about it in our newspaper when I was around 12. The owner wouldn't let them use his full name or his address.
......probably because he knew people like me would go looking for it. There were two photos of the outside printed with the article. As far as I know,
his heirs still live there during the summer season.
That place looks familiar, too. Can't put my finger on it at the moment. I want to say it's on Green Mountain Road...... I'll drive by there this weekend and see if I'm right.LOL. That's why I asked.
Maybe this...

Look how pretty she is. Hope she does well although violets are pretty hardy so shouldn't be a problem. They can get invasive so might stray away from that stump.Meet Marsha. I rescued her from the woods behind my house. She's a bit dirty because we got caught in the rain before I finished planting.
The clay pot is a temporary home. Her permanent place will be in a stump beside the driveway, where she will have room to grow.

I've been told that plants tend to do better when they're stolen.Look how pretty she is. Hope she does well although violets are pretty hardy so shouldn't be a problem. They can get invasive so might stray away from that stump.
They've pretty much taken over in the lawn (using that term loosely as it's more weeds than grass but we've never actually seeded it) in the back yard. We have both the purple and white varieties.I've been told that plants tend to do better when they're stolen.
I love wild violets, so it's okay if they stray some the edge of the driveway could use some cheering up, and my lawn guys will keep them trimmed short if they get too crazy.
