(One is left wondering how thorough and serious  they were!)


During my September 1997 visit to Rum I discovered the stove was nowhere to be found. I was informed by Mr. Currie that scrap metal men had visited the island and they must have taken it. A thorough search confirmed its disappearance, but did reveal the iron stand on which in use it had rested.  Sadly, on my previous visits it was unnoticed.


In Kinloch Castle Courtyard  May 1995.
A very rare triple wringer.      Where is it now?
