If a satirical account in two poems by the poet William Dunbar is based in fact, the castle walls may have been the site of an attempt at human-powered flight, c.1509, by the Italian alchemist and abbot of Tongland, John Damian.
Såfremt en satiriske beretning i to digte af digteren William Dunbar er sande, forsøgte man sig med menneskedrevet flyvning fra borgens mure omkring 1509, udført af den italiensk alkymist og abbed fra Tongland, John Damian.
