* Apparently, [https://web.archive.org/web/20100918091954/http://www.inveraray-castle.com/pages/content.asp?PageID=106 Inveraray Castle] has more [[Blade on a Stick|polearms]] and muskets than you'd want to [[Incredibly Lame Pun|shake a stick at]].
* It was common to find Governor's Palaces insanely well armed in Colonial America. This was to both show off the power and wealth of the British Empire (a rifle being a sizable portion of a normal person's yearly income) and to be used to defend the Governor and his family/staff in case of uprising. In Colonial Williamsburg, the Governor's Palace had more muskets, rifles, pistols, and melee weapons than the actual magazine (arsenal).
* The first room you enter at Alnwick Castle has an incredibly array of polished metal in the form of antique pistols, swords, and assorted other weaponry arrayed in aesthetically pleasing patterns around the walls. All of the walls. Filling every square inch. (Even more impressive, however, is the library with walls made of books.)
