    Maybe we can time share something that is more of a fixer-upper...

    This one in Lairg is less (only £ 549,900,) but I am sure still costly to heat.

    One word, ladies and gentlemen, that one needs to consider for this property: MIDGIES!

    Jock, I've been told Scottish midgies are the size of a Spitfire with a bite that is on the level of a small terrier.

    The deal breaker has to be whether or not there is a hanger on the premises to dock the Saltire in. I think we would be wise to think twice about the purchase if no aircraft facilities exist on property.

    No you are badly misinformed! The Scottish midgie is the size of a pinhead with a bite of a large terrier--------and on a bad day there are billions of them!Which is most days between mid May to mid September when the wind is not blowing.
