Well, here we go again.

An 18th century building in the lovely town of Linlithgow (one of Scotland's finest towns!) has gone up in smoke, unfortunately.

Here's the news article:-

Alas.  Linlithgow has lost another part of its historic building fabric, another blow to follow the damage caused by a couple of stupid moronic schoolkids firing airguns at the medieval stained glass windows in St Michaels Church.

Gads, it's enough to make you weep....

The good news is...

I bet there'll be some exciting archaeology unearthed when they replace that poor old building. Linlithgow's produced a few interesting medieval sites over the last couple of year...

But I think I'd rather have things the way they were.
