Ond mae nifer o gestyll ar garreg ein drws sydd, efallai yn llai adnabyddus ond yn unigol ac fel casgliad, yn ffordd weledol o'n hatgoffa o'n hanes a'n treftadaeth. Mae'r rhain, i mi, yn gestyll gwir Gymreig - wedi'u hadeiladu neu'n gartref i rai o Gymry amlwg y gorffennol - gan Llywelyn, yr Arglwydd Rhys a Glyndŵr ymysg eraill. Tywysogion Cymru a ymladdodd dros Gymru ac a fu'n gymorth i lunio Cymru a Chymreictod fel a welwn heddiw.
But there are a whole host of castles on our doorsteps that are, perhaps, less well known but both individually and as a collective serve as precious physical reminders of our history and our heritage. These, to me, are the true Welsh castles - those built or inhabited by distinguished Welshmen of the past - by Llywelyn, Lord Rhys and Glyndwr amongst others. Welsh Princes who fought for and over Wales and helped shape the Wales and Welshness we recognise today.
