"My exact origins are unknown, although I was probably built by a local Welsh lord in the 1240s. The remains you see in this 19th-century depiction are after I had a face-lift in the 1270s/80s. I'm a little red-faced over my sorry appearance in this drawing, although most would say that today I'm a real "bute". Who am I and can you explain my riddle?"
