At the heart of Aveyron, the Château du Bousquet is a castle like those depicted in fairy tales: six towers adorned with battlements, machicolations, and parapets form its architecture, an indisputable testament to the skill of medieval itinerant builders.

Céline talks about when the Turks were making their assault on the castles at Vienna, harpoons and hooks were used to fish them all the way up to the castle machicolations to kill them. This is how invasions were dealt with. Mass deportations are a walk in the park by comparison.

Maxwells repaired and upgraded Caerlaverock over years. Impressive machicolations (slotted defenses) at top of each tower date from late 1300s or early 1400s, by which time Wars of Independence with England had taken their toll.

Machicolations (I think is the correct term) supported here by some curious faces, right and left.

Box machicolations for pouring liquids on unwelcome visitors. Tantallon, Dirleton (weaponised toilet chute), Hailes and Preston Tower. Superheated sand with a high salt content also exploded on contact with water or within sweaty Bascinets causing severe burns or blindness.

The V & A describe the house as partly fairy-tale Gothic with a round turret & castellated tower; partly timber-framed medieval.

There's a furious flurry of machicolations; the 'witch's hat' conical roof to the turret is appealing too. I am not sure that the house still exists.
