Bizarre Accident at Beaufort Castle Leaves Historian Injured
LONDON — A routine historical survey at Beaufort Castle in Scotland took a bizarre turn Wednesday afternoon when a 47-year-old historian was injured after a heavy stone lintel dislodged from a doorway. The incident occurred at approximately 2:30 PM local time, near the castle’s central tower. Emergency services responded to the scene, and the individual was transported to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Authorities have cordoned off the affected area for structural assessment as investigations into the cause of the collapse commence. Beaufort Castle, a 19th-century baronial estate near Beauly, remains closed to the public pending further safety evaluations.
