Ailsa Craig - is up for sale!

[shaunbhoy]

My sister used to be able to see Ailsa Craig from her bedroom window. In fact the street we lived in was called "Ailsa Place".
Happy Days.

IIRC it was the leftover "plug" from a volcano, the rest of which eroded away over millions of years leaving the harder granite bit behind.

Perfect for a DimPrawn or Sasguru who want their own little fiefdom.

One day son, all this will be yours!

Wot, the curtains??

Just like that which Edinburgh Castle is built upon.

Btw, if you read the advert it tells you just that, but not in a Michael Caine voicey.

Speaking hypodermically, what would be the process for buying the Island, ceeding from the UK and forming your own little tax haven?

Not exactly what you'd call straight forward.

Oh right. Never read it to be honest. Spent 18 years getting away from it, no intention of going back.
If you can see it then it is going to rain, and if you can't see it then it is already raining! If you get my drift!

I used to have a boat moored at Largs and used to nip down to Ailsa Craig via Ardrossan so yes I concur re: the weather.

That's not very sociable. I give it two weeks before you get banned, any takers?
