My Mother used to tell me about Dundurn Castle. She was from the north end and said she always wanted to one day live in the Castle. In school they would go on trips to the Castle and she said there was an escape tunnel that you got into from inside the Castle and it went out to the Bay. I was told it was closed to the public now because someone had stolen some jewelry and was chased but they escaped through the tunnel. Then the tunnel was closed. With the picture in the Spec this morning I now see the tunnel. I didn't doubt her but always wished I could see it. I guess I missed the picture in the 2012 Spec but enjoyed seeing it today. I might have read it as 1812 fortification and didn't connect it being under Dundurn.

I have been there many times and had no idea there was a tunnel. Have to have a look at the bottom near the harbour next time I am there.
