Brae of Crombie

When I saw this croft I assumed that it was abandoned, though not so long ago because the car is an F-registered Lada (1988-9). However I have been contacted by the present owners, and I am delighted to be told that I am wrong, and that they are returning there to restore it to its former glory, which is great news. The box in the foreground is a safe manufactured by Ratners, Bankers' Engineers, London. I was intrigued and puzzled to find it lying on its back in an uncultivated field halfway up a hill in Banffshire. The owners tell me that it was in the barn when they bought the croft, and the seller undertook to remove it, but only got this far before having to give up the attempt!
