If you have never been up to the Scottish highlands,especially Rannoch Moore and Glencoe,Then I cannot recommend it enough.
It's truly one of britains most spectacular natural sights.
Hillwalking,Mountaineering,Skiing or just a simple walk with the dog.
When you see sights like the one above its is difficult not to fall in love with the place.

Jimmy Saville the disgraced telly celebrity chose the beautiful area to reside and used to stay at a beautiful little cottage deep in the Glen. Sadly though Vandals have made this a bit of an eyesore windows smashed and building graffitied. Saville had vacated the premises many years ago and the house lay empty for a fair while.

I fully understand people's anger and aggression towards the man and the heinous crimes he has committed.


But all this has done has made something that's beautiful and scenic and turned Into a scene from a council estate.

It would be a shame but they should just demolish the building. Looks like a beautiful place.
