zoefruitcake has pointed out that next weekend is Doors Open Days or Heritage Open Days as they call it in England. All sorts of historic sites are open free of admission, some of them places not normally open to the public.
Since I shan't be able to take advantage of any of the openings this year, I'll just imagine that I'm touring Ballone Castle, one of the open houses in the Tain & Easter Ross area. What a simply *wonderful* thing, to be able to restore a 16th century tower house and then live in it! Wow!

Date: 2007-08-31 08:42 am (UTC)Doors Open Day is on different dates in each local authority area. Here in Edinburgh it's on 29 September. It's nice that the dates are staggered as it means you can go to more than one of them.
