A couple of years ago, the aristocrat owner of Ulva (Wolf Island) put this place up for sale.
I sent for the details. (Go on. Laugh all you like. A lassie can dream!)
My idea of heaven on earth. Sigh.
Then Nicola Fish and her LOONY government put a block on the sale. The island belongs to the people, they said.
Part of me agrees with that.
She ordered a Community Buy-Out. If the locals could raise the money (!) then they could buy the island.
D’oh and multiple Cusses. Bought!
Yippee. Ulva can now be filled with MacDonald’s and tourists spending money and do-gooders running round killing the flora and fauna as they Do Good.
Way to go, Scotland.
NOT!
Bitter? Me?
Yup. Pouty too! :o(
Reblogged this on Greta Brookes and commented:
Why not take MY SPIRIT Wolf to the nth degree. And bugger the consequences!
Ooops.
I might’ve just’ve done that here.
I wanted WOLF ISLAND soooooo badly.
Shame I’m a broke peasant :o(
