THEIR BACKS AGAINST THE THIN WALL
THEIR BACKS AGAINST THE THIN WALL

Soundtrack // Bande-son: ULTRAVOX "'The Thin Wall"): www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2zG7D2DqXs
"And those who sneer will fade and die... And those who laugh will surely fall... And those who know will always feel THEIR BACKS AGAINST THE THIN WALL... The thin wall... Thin wall..."

"The second MacKenzie of Assynt, Kenneth, was persuaded by his wife to abandon the austerity and discomfort of Ardvrek in favour of a new house at nearby Calda. Begun in 1726 Calda House was THE FIRST CLASSICAL STYLE HOUSE IN THE NORTHWEST HIGHLANDS and at that time would have been very grand indeed."
Amid mounting debts, the luxury-loving Mackenzies were forced to put their grand house up for sale and a struggle for control of Assynt now ensued between the MacKenzie Earl of Seaforth and the Earl of Sutherland. In 1736 some MacKenzie supporters deliberately torched Calda House to prevent it ever being used by the Sutherlands !"
