Wednesday Word Of The Week – Tumbledown

Tumbledown means falling, or fallen, into dilapidation. To me it sounds nicer than neglected, devastated, destroyed or ruined.

The castle is Tarbert in Scotland. There are a lot of Scots towns and villages with the name Tarbert or Tarbet. That word means a narrow strip of land. It’s quite often where two lochs meet.

There you go – two words for the price of one! You can’t say I’m not good to you. Well, you could I suppose but I can’t hear you from here.
