Crawford Priory, Cupar, March 2008.

Good effort. Thanks man.

Dear me, to think I went more than halfway up that staircase … then thought better of it.

 

[RichardB]

I still want to explore Crawford Priory if anybody's interested. It will probably be early in January or possibly between Christmas and New Year.

I'm up for another look, I'll be down over the Festive too

 

[RichardB]

Sounds good I'm sure Mrs B will be delighted to get me out of the house for a while by then.

I'd love to visit Crawford too at some point

Could be a plan then

I'll be available Boxing Day onwards I reckon, still unsure as to my Hogmanay plans, if it's Paris I'll need to leave around the 29th, but any time in between there is good for me

EDIT - I'm sure Escortmad'll be welcome along too

 

[spacepunk]

A sunday or a Monday is best pour moi.

 

[escortmad79]

I'll be in Devon visiting my parents from Boxing day until 2nd Jan!

 

[RichardB]

I might have to do 2 visits then

I've found some more info about this place. All old newspaper articles like this:

Quite a few other articles, and search facility. Go to http://access.gale.com/newstrial/ click 'access now' and use the password 'british'. You can search through the old newspaper articles. Quite a bit on Crawford, although quite a few about how the hounds meet there.

Same stair, different aspect

Your structural calculations must be less conservative than mine, then.

Probably, but it just had to be done. Beside, I reckoned the sturdy bannister would help support my weight along with the tons of rubble already in situ

 

[wolfism]

You have to hope ... but my background means that I know about a thing called "progressive collapse" ... which is difficult to put out of your mind once you're aware of it.

*bump*

Are folk still up for having a nosey here (or anywhere else interesting in the Kingdom..) over over the Festive?

I'm down on Christmas Eve, off to France on the 30th

shame to see buildings left to rot like this - looked some place in it's day too......

I'd love to take a look round it

As mentioned before, I'm gonna be pretty much housebound, but I have your number so If I can, I'll let you know.

I might have a window on the 5th Jan, but I presume you'll either still be supping chardonnay and smoking gitanes, or will be back to the snowy northern regions by then?

 

[RichardB]

I'm still up for it, and/or any other places.
