And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A closer view of that remote castle, where I was banished after a dalliance with the queen (allegedly).
Eilean Donan Castle, which means "island of Donnán", named after Donnán of Eigg, a Celtic saint who was martyred in 617. It's one of the most recognised castles in Scotland, and probably appears on more shortbread tins and calendars than any other. The castle overlooks the Isle of Skye and is surrounded by mountains and forests, it appeared in the first 'Highlander' movie as the home of the immortal fictional character "Connor MacLeod, of the Clan MacLeod. born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan on the shores of Loch Shiel ... and I am immortal."
Once upon a time lived a beautiful Queen with large breasts.
Nick the Dragon Slayer obsessed over the Queen for this reason. He knew that the penalty for his desire would be death should he try to touch them, but he had to try.
One day Nick revealed his secret desire to his colleague, Horatio the Physician, the King's chief doctor.. Horatio thought about this and said that he could arrange for Nick to more than satisfy his desire, but it would cost him 1000 gold coins to arrange it.
Without pause Nick readily agreed to the scheme.
The next day, Horatio made a batch of itching powder and poured a little bit into the Queen's bra while she bathed.
Soon after she dressed, the itching commenced and grew intense.
Upon being summoned to the Royal Chambers to address this incident, Horatio informed the King and Queen that only a special saliva, if applied for four hours, would cure this type of itch, and that tests had shown that only the saliva of Nick would work as the antidote to cure the itch.
The King, eager to help his Queen, quickly summoned Nick to their chambers.. Horatio then slipped Nick the antidote for the itching powder, which he put into his mouth, and for the next four hours, Nick worked passionately on the Queen's large and magnificent breasts.
The Queen's itching was eventually relieved, and Nick left satisfied and hailed as a hero.
Upon returning to his chamber, Nick found Horatio demanding his payment of 1000 gold coins. With his obsession now satisfied, Nick couldn't have cared less knowing that Horatio could never report this matter to the King and with a laugh told him to get lost.
The next day, Horatio slipped a massive dose of the same itching powder into the King's underwear.
Cold, damp, and drafty, but one helluva view, and great fishing. Besides the need for modern amenities, it's lacking only gatehouses at either end of the bridge, and a modern MBT turret positioned to defend the causeway.
I'd also walk the battlements after nightfall, in clothing painted in plaid patterns with glow-in-the-dark paint, and play bagpipes, just to scare hell out of anyone nearby.
Probably would want a "Nessie"-profile r/c submersible, just to pull the tourists' legs once in awhile.
Only if it had modern plumbing and the best hvac.

Would like 2 weeks to live in and tour the house from top to bottom, item on my bucket list.

What a dump.
ReplyDeleteWondering what it would cost to replicate the buildings and causeway on another location? Then again, what was the original cost?
