The Brunsmark town hall outside the office looks like an apartment building. Because it is one. They go to this red clinker brick building, which has around 170 residents, if something burns their hearts.

Iain Macnab, 70, opens the door. Would you like to follow him? Would you like to. A rustic wooden staircase leads to the first floor, to the living area and – please left – to the study.…

The Healing Stones of St. Fillan. These are a National Treasure, Holy Relic and Cultural Item dating from the 8th Century.

You can find the exact figs if you really want.

I do like the smiley one. I wonder what the early Christians and proto Scots made of it.
