Cheers. Sorry about the delay. Loch voil has been a favourite place of mine for years and we used to camp on the shore but now the no camping signs are everywhere. A pint in the Monachhyle Mhor sounds good though. ☺️ 

 

 

Got engaged up there - needed a few after that :D

Many thanks. I wouldn't have known to be honest without the Latin inscription on the ceiling, which translates as "By living we learn."

Sorry about that. Only because no-one else has seen the thread yet. :) Thanks for keeping the thread alive and, ahem, contributing to its renaissance.

and a point deducted for blasphemy from Boof as it is indeed John Knox House

 

In my feeble defence I did mean the lavatorial facilities of the whole Sistine complex (if there is such a thing). I wasn't insinuating that the chapel itself is a shitehoose - no matter how others may choose to interpret my remarks.
