Sounds very strange to me. It will be interesting to see how this develops.
He didnāt plunge then - The unusual quite misleading headline.
Assuming the car left the road it would have had pretty much zero initial vertical velocity, so he would have around 6 seconds to get out and the car (and he) would be travelling at approximately 60m/s when they hit the rocks below.
Yet he walked away relatively unscathed? Not buying it.
Iām sure the denizens of Forfar canāt believe their good fortune.
I think he is supposed to have jumped out at the top of the cliff. It would be a cracking excuse to cover up an insurance claim, ahemā¦
Usual Royal bollocks.
Report says

hmmmm burping out bad spiritsā¦
I hear someoneās been farting out bad spirits for years

Primarily itās a bird observatory, but yes, the data they collect is an important pointer to climate change too.
It was the first place I visited in Shetland in 1998. Something must have made an impression as several more visits to the Isles followed and thenā¦ well, you know the rest
Latest news is that the entire Obs has now collapsed and is a total write off.
Very sad.
It was only opened in 2010 at a cost of Ā£4m to replace the old one. They will certainly rebuild, but it will take time.
4 million! Wow
Nan?
Mater
Slightly more complex than a shed with a viewing hatch and a couple of stools then?
