Just now, Doctor FinnBarr said: Barns Ness Indeed it is. 5 points to each of you. Yup. I was sitting on a wee rock and was enthralled with the amazing colours of the pebbles in the rock pools. The geology in these parts is awe-inspiring. We are stupidly spoiled for beauty ... and only but an hour on the bus frae Embra. £8.50 return. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly don't unless you're prepared to lose a massive % of dosh when you sell it. We bought ours 18 months ago for just shy of 32k. If we sold it back to Verdant Leisure tomorrow we'd be lucky to get 6k. Tell her to look into it via owners forums. Had we looked at them beforehand we'd never have bought it.

We've got a friend who has a static caravan at Pease Bay so I knew the lay of the land, so to speak. I had to Google "lighthouses in East Lothian " to help 😂. Been to Dunbar a few times but not the John Muir House/Museum. He's another Scottish legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The John Muir Trust, named after him, do a lot to preserve wild land here in Scotland. They own part of Ben Nevis, Schiehallion and lands in Skye, Knoydart and the far north west. Yosemite in California is what he is most famous for, lobbying to establish it as a national park and saving it from loggers and other commercial interests.

The agent has only just phoned her this morning, but she deftly side-stepped the sales pitch and it'll be a while before any decision is made. 16 hours ago, Doctor FinnBarr said: Honestly don't unless you're prepared to lose a massive % of dosh when you sell it.

Had we looked at them beforehand we'd never have bought it. Sound advice, thanks. Its certainly more expensive than we first thought, for sure. I mean to say £32K is hardly a pittance so serious thought required prior to commiting ... but ... If you're happy with your one, which it seems that you are going by previous posts, then the potential re-sale value is almost not worth bothering about as you have it to enjoy for as long as it suits you. If we go ahead then it'll be somewhere for keeps rather than an 'investment', if you know what I mean? Hence, I'll be deid before any re-sale. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point goes to All roads. 👏 2 hours ago, JKB Member C said: Was just going to say that. I should have scrolled down before searching where the Carrie B is registered. 😄 A couple of times, I've done much the same. The one that left me kicking myself was @All roads lead to Gorgie's Fife one seeing as I was standing looking at the clue in real-life at the time and must've been having an, ahem, 'senior moment'. Just as I'd eventually figured it out, someone beat me to it. Anyhoo, although disguised with mist, that one, with its Carrie B clue, was a bit of a give-away. It reminded me of the Artist Matthew Draper who has done many Edinburgh scenes in chalk pastel. I'm fortunate to have a couple of his from his earlier work. For anyone interested, here's a link showing a good selection of his artistry. https://matthewjdraper.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
