this is the way to do it...dunnottar is the best spelling, but the superior content is in the present dunnotar article....i will clean up and edit after the merge... Anlace 06:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
please explain in detail by line reference the tag or remove it at once...please post your reply here where it belongs not on my talk page... thank you Anlace 14:44, 11 March 2006 (UTC)e
Hi Anlace, can I make some suggestions: (i) take a look at WP:PEACOCK - where you'll learn about the justification for avoiding "peacock terms", which I think applies in this case, and how you can re-word them to better fit with Wikipedia recommended style; (ii) on a re-reading, I also noticed squalid, tragic, a couple of importants and a breathtaking, all of which I think require attention - I won't re-insert the POV check tag just yet, I'll give you a chance to sort these issues out first SP-KP 22:51, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Also, you could try putting this article up for peer review, which should help you to get a broader range of opinions on how the article could be improved. Let me know if you need help with doing that. SP-KP 22:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
I believe the link to Andrew Murray goes to wrong family member, it should go to his grandson Sir Andrew Murray, 4. lord of Bothwell, 3. regent of Scotland (1297 - 1338). -- 85.165.99.39 16:25, 18 March 2006 (UTC) Finn Bjo
Not so. It is Gaeilge (Irish) for fort. Very, very little of the Pictish language is extant. Fergananim 14:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Janet Elaine Smith is married to Ivan Smith, the great-grandson of Carolyn (Keith) Smith, who was a direct descendent of Rev. James Keith, the first Congregational minister in Barnstable. Rev. James Keith was recruited by Rev. Increase Mather, when Keith was just a teenager and a graduate of Aberdeen University, which was founded by his ancestor, George Keith. Rev. Keith was a direct descendent of the Keiths of Inverugie Castle in Peterhead, Scotland, as well as (prior to that) the Keiths of Dunnottar Castle, where the Scottish regalia was hidden to protect it from being melted down by Oliver Cromwell in the British Civil War. Dunnottar Castle was the last stronghold to stand against the attacks of Cromwell.

This is blatantly an advert for this persons books! Unless reasonable justification for keeping this paragraph in can be presented, it should be deleted. Wikipedia is a place for learning, not somewhere to drum up sales!I cannot begin to convey how disappointed and angry I am that wikipedia, a non-profit, public SERVICE is being exploited in such a manner.If no response/reasonable objection is made within three days(to give a fair chance)deletion will occur. Very, Very disappointed. *killerpsychobunny* 17:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

1. "Simpson contends that these defences are "without exception the strongest in Scotland"".
Simpson who? Let's add a first name and some title like historian, analyst or whoever he/she is/was.
2."The east range has a larder, brewhouse and bakery at ground level, with a suite of apartments for the Countess above".
Countess who? Let's add some information to clarify.

Hello! I noticed that with the first line in the history section, it says this:
A chapel at Dunnottar is said to have been founded by St Ninian in the 5th century,[4] although it is not clear when the site was first fortified, but in any case the legend is late and highly implausible.
The way this is said makes the idea displayed not entirely clear; there are two different ideas trying to be displayed here. It should be split into two sentences with the first one ending at "...first fortified." This second part, "...in any case the legend is late and highly implausible," makes the source seem flippant. It is good to state the situation how it is, that the source might not be wholly trustworthy, but the way this is said makes it seem opinionated.
Let me know if there's any questions! Kutekenzz ( talk) 00:31, 2 March 2020 (UTC)
