Time it was.............

.............and what a time it was. I have a photograph - preserve the memories"*

This was once a country mansion in central Scotland. It was destroyed by fire a long time ago. What's left has been abandonded to let nature reclaim it. It's fenced off of course to stop people from getting in and injuring themselves. I guess the strategy of the park owners is to let it decay until if falls down of its own accord or, if some benefactor comes along with lots of dosh, then permission would be granted to restore it. It's an inelegant decay. Someone somewhere will doubtless have photographs of the mansion in its better days.
