Feels like a leap of faith, this construction, but as you say, it'll probably outlive us all

7 years ago.

Andy Rodker ^club has replied to Rabbitroundtheworld

Yes, it's amazing that someone in the 15th century said, 'I know, let's build a hunting lodge in the most ridiculous place we can think of! Yes!!! Carn Brae, you know, those perilous looking rocks on the top!'
'Yeah! What a brilliant idea, O Wise One!'
And yet it worked!
