The Geo Quiz is all about graffiti but it isn’t where you might expect to find it. It’s a 13th century castle in Scotland that’s been tagged. The castle’s owners actually commissioned some Brazilian street artists to transform their castle’s walls and turrets. The now brightly-decorated castle looks out on the waters of the Firth of Clyde, on the southwest coast of Scotland. This is a rugged and hilly region that serves as a gateway to the Scottish Highlands.
So, can you to name that region?
The answer is Largs, Ayrshire where the Kelburn Castle is now colorfully adorned. Anchor Marco Werman finds out more from the castle’s owner, Viscount David Boyle.
