Talk:Cairns of Coll

Cairns of Coll as real estate
In 2013, the Cairns of Coll were purchased by Scottish author Alexander McCall Smith, who intended to use the islands as a writing retreat and nature reserve.

This sentence was in the article previously but the link is not valid now. "The Scotsman" follows the intents of the Smiths and the destiny of the cairns as real estate but you have to buy those articles. The ownership of the real estate and its fate in someone's will are at the moment not known by any source I can find. They seem to me to be in the category of current events. Besides, the question of exactly what is in the real estate is not addressed by any source I can find. In the absence of any credible and detailed source and considering the non-historic nature of the material I am temporarily removing the sentence and the section I created for it. If a good source can be found and some detail can be added then it might go back in. Otherwise, who knows what is on the mind of Mr. and Mrs. Smith? Hardly encyclopedic.

I filled this article out a bit as an adjunct to the classification of available pictures on Commons. I'm not adopting it. For the future I see more details concerning the light and also an investigation of the marine species. There have been some wrecks around there also but I can't find anything much on it. I'm going back to the pictures. Good luck with it.Botteville (talk) 07:16, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
