    Kelburn Castle, just outside of Largs - about 12 miles from my house....

    ''2007_kelburn_castle_231.jpg

    In 2007 experts told the owners of Kelburn Castle that its concrete facing would eventually need to be replaced to avoid further damage to the stonework. At the suggestion of his children, Lord Glasgow invited four Brazilian graffiti artists (Nunca, Nina and Os Gêmeos twins) to paint the walls.[4] Historic Scotland agreed to the project, on the basis that the graffiti would be removed when the castle was re-harled. The project was featured on the BBC television programme The Culture Show. Also in 2007, Kelburn featured in another BBC programme, Crisis at the Castlewhich documented the financial problems of running the castle.[5]

    In September 2010 it was reported that Historic Scotland were putting pressure on Lord Glasgow to remove the graffiti,[6]although this was later denied by both parties.[7] In August 2011 it was reported that the Earl had formally written to Historic Scotland asking permission to keep the graffiti as a permanent feature.[8]

    The wreck of the SS City of Adelaide. Wrecked in 1916, Magnetic Island, it has been overtaken by mangroves.

    An interesting history of said vessel.

    Footnote: I marrried Mrs Uber Mk I on Magnetic Island in 1994. Unfortunately, I was unable to furnish her with the variety of penises she craved. :)
