It is said that when two intrepid mountaineers, David Gray and Major Grantham, climbed the peaks directly in front of Cathkin, they were about to celebrate their long haul by popping a bottle of champagne. But as fate would have it, the guide dropped the bottle on a rock -- and in that moment Champagne Castle in the heart of uKaHlamba (Barrier of Spears) was christened.
