Neglecting our built heritage II

More from Richard Gray in the Scotsman about the neglect of Burns monuments and now a possible threat to the future of Abbotsford House, the home of Sir Walter Scott as well. The more information we have the worse it looks.

Adam Ingram MSP of the SNP is leading a rescue effort to persuade the Scottish Executive the pay for the repair of the Burns cottage, however I suggest there should be should be some kind of built heritage fund available with a system for evaluating individual cases and working out priorities.
