The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that Aberdour Castle (pictured), with parts dating from around 1200, is one of the two oldest datable standing castles in Scotland?

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Aberdour Castle/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Minor points which need not prevent GA status:

"Easter Aberdour" links to Aberdour which is a modern day equivalent Easter and Wester Aberdour combined, so the linked page says. In ancient times I expect that Easter Aberdour was a separate village. I wonder if this is worth mentioning a bit about the town of Easter Aberdour as it was then.

Is it worth including a photo of the dovecote? It is probably significant enough to have more about it in the article. Snowman (talk) 18:22, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note to any GAN reviewers that come by: Ignore the GAN template above, this page is not currently being reviewed. Naerii 23:07, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I take it no-one's reviewing it then, so I will:
