Callan Castle, also known as the Scottish Castle and Lord Callan's Castle,is a Sudrian castle near a causeway crossing Black Loch in Misty Valley. Lord Callan lives here.

History

Callan Castle was originally inhabited by Godred the Impaler and gave him a view of Black Loch. It is believed that the surrounding area is haunted by him to this day. Whenever the engines have an accident here, they all blame it on Godred.[1]

When the castle was reopened to the public by Lord Callan, Donald and Douglas bought the banners and bunting for the celebration.[2] Later, Henry found a new flagpole taken from an old ship for the castle, after the one he was originally meant to collect was accidentally run over by Salty.[3]
