    There are rooms underneath the castle, and that hole was there to let in air to the king and his soldiers when they were inside afraid of any danger. The king was almost always playing the bagpipes, except when he was afraid that anybody from another country might raid. Ever since he died anybody never entered the rooms underneath the castle. There is a green in front which they call the Castle Green.
