Sandstone was more of a construction material in the Middle East than
Europe.

Raglan Castle in Wales is made with
red and yellow sandstone.
Torwood Castle,
Craignethan
Castle, and Duntreath Castle in Scotland are made with yellow sandstone.
Kenilworth Castle
in England is made of red sandstone. Sandstone is the primary stonework
material in any area where sandstone is the most abundant/easily quarried
type of stone. Central and Eastern Europe have more weatherable stone
available, but it was used quite extensively in the UK.

I didn’t say it wasn’t used - it was just more prevalent elsewhere than in
Europe. But all well-sited, castle-builders used whatever was handy.
