History | | English term or phrase: Stuart keep | The castle remained a loyal Stuart keep through the Hanover's rule and civil war, and into the seventeenth century.
Es handelt sich hier um die schottischen Stuarts seit Mary Stuart. Es kann ja wohl kein Pförtnerhaus sein ... |

| | s.u. | Explanation:
"Keep" ist eigentlich der Bergfried, also nur Teil einer Burg.
Ich würde frei übersetzen: Das Schloss blieb den Stuarts treu, im Bürgerkrieg und noch während der Herrschaft der Hannoveraner. Vom historischen Standpunkt aus gesehen ist der Satz merkwürdig, vor allem der Kommentar über das 17. Jh: die Hannoveraner kamen erst 1714 mit George I. auf den engl. Thron, also im 18. Jh. Ich würde den geschichtlichen Aspekt überprüfen, ehe ich hier eine (grammatisch richtige, sachlich falsche) Übersetzung wagte. |

Explanation:
Schöffler/Weis and
e.g.: The castle that gradually emerged over the following two hundred years comprised a rectangular curtain wall, within which were four ranges of buildings. To the north of the main castle was a walled outer courtyard which would have contained service buildings. At the south west corner of the castle was a four storey keep that contained the Crichtons' private rooms. This is where James VI would probably have stayed when he visited Sanquhar Castle in 1617.
