Welcome to Parasortium! Craigdarroch castle is one of our favourite landmarks and they gave us open access to the building to film. I am talking to John Hughes the Executive Director of Craigdarroch castle today. We have visited this castle several times and have learned more each time. We love it and hope you love it too. Please enjoy! We want to thank John Hughes and the Craigdarroch castle society for doing this interview and hope this was as fun for you our listeners as it was for us to do. We are working on a bigger project to do with Craigdarroch Castle and will make an announcement when we are able. We have put links in the notes for you to find more information on the Castle.

War is not the romanticized battles we imagine.It isn’t honour or glory—it’s smoke, dust, and ash that chokes us, amid explosions that blind and tear our flesh.The truth is hidden from us. Reduced to soundbites and Blurred images. But those who’velived it remember everything—the smells, the heat, the pain thatcomes after the flash.And the children remember it most.They don’t just lose homes. They lose safety, family, childhood itself.They dig through rubble where their lives once stood, searching not for toys—but for pieces of the people they love. Trying desperately to get them back!War doesn’t just wound the body. It rewires the mind, leaving fear, grief, and deafening silence that lasts a lifetimeIt steals innocence. It leaves scars no one sees.When the fighting ends and the powerful divide land and profit,it’s the children—alone, grieving, surviving—who are left to rebuild a broken world.Some survive. But survival isn’t living.And still, it is children who suffer the most—physically, mentally, forever ([Psychology Today][2]).War takes everything.And it gives nothing back.So the questionisn’t what war is.It’s why we stillallow it.Citations[1]:https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/neurology/articles/10.3389/fneur.2023.1253515/full?utm_source=chatgpt.com "Frontiers |Pediatric traumatic brain injuries in war zones: a systematicliterature review"[2]:https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/parenting-matters/202407/how-war-and-loss-affect-children?utm_source=chatgpt.com "How War andLoss Affect Children | Psychology Today Canada"Photoby “Raghed Waked/Reuters”Article by “Mishra, Utkarsh”. 2026.“Iran Warns Israel Over Strikes in Lebanon Despite Truce.”Rediff, April 9, 2026.https://www.rediff.com/news/report/iran-warns-israel-over-strikes-in-lebanon-despite-truce/20260409.htm.Photoby Yara Nardi Reuters. 2026. “Israeli Strikes Pummel Lebanon,Killing 250 in Deadliest Day.” AnewZ, April 9, 2026.https://anewz.tv/iran-war/news/19236/israeli-strikes-pummel-lebanon-killing-250-in-deadliest-day/news.Lebanonsearches for survivors after Israeli barrage.
