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....

You'd expect that kind of behaviour in some parts of Glasgow or Ayrshire. In these places, the old estates of the aristocracy were bought up by the state, the mansions demolished, and history completely erased in a Brave New Socialist world approach. You'd expect Linlithgow to be a bit more enlighted, but... The waves of madness and barbarism have even left their flotsam there...
