Love the picture. Just about sums up the UK, really. Deb 18:17, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, Deb. I wanted to contact you about your original Gilsland page, but could not work out how to - I hope you can see this ! I put this photo on because I am tired of the same old idealised blue-sky pictures used to promote everywhere and everything. I welcome visitors to and interest in Gilsland, but let them come because they are interested and adventurous, not because they are impressed with our PR. Rnorve, 2nd October 2006
[edit] Neutrality
There are several phrases here that don't quite live up to Wikipedia's standard of neutrality: "the most spectacular", "uncomfortably", the use of quotation marks on "development", "it remains to be seen", "the best guide book", "only competent history...much plagiarised". That's why I've tagged the article.
Also, it should probably be mentioned as the seat of the Dacre family. Someone should have a look at this, I'll do it if I can find the time, but it would of course be much appreciated if someone volunteered. Lampman (talk) 20:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- I've worked on the lead section. Charles Matthews (talk) 10:24, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
