This 16th century towerhouse in Fife is crumbling. It is in the guardianship of Historic Scotland but they seem to have accepted that it is beyond salvation.

Unless you have something further to add to this then I'm afraid it does not fulfil the [ame="http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=16286"]criteria for a location report[/ame].

Yes, I have plenty to add to this but I am apparently pushing the boundaries of my technical expertise beyond its limit. I am having a problem loading pictures successfully. It is my first attempt!
 
Aah fair enough, well the guide I linked in my previous post has reasonably detailed instructions.

You weren't far off, you just seem to have duplicated the code a couple of times which stopped it working...

[ame="http://www.derelictplaces.co.uk/main/showthread.php?t=17009"]This thread[/ame] has a step by step guide if you haven't already seen it.

I'll edit your original post so the image works, then if you go ahead and edit it yourself to add what you want to add you'll be able to see what it should look like.
 
Some great pictures there, thanks for persevering with the technical bit. Looks like you got lucky with the weather that day too, absolutely glorious.
I am impressed to see how well the family arms have survived.
