@kristiedegaris@mastodon.scot It’s very wow, but perhaps you may have an inkling of the hardship endured/lives lost in order to build?
“ The Bogey Hole was hand-hewn out of a wave-cut rock platform by convicts for Major James Morisset, in 1819 for his personal use.”
The chances of injury and death during the making have got to be high, yes?
Crashing waves, slippery rock, perhaps dodgy equipment, non existent occupational health and safety…

@kristiedegaris@mastodon.scot That said, it’s a stunning pool, where fish 🐠 are swimming in the pool with you, and there’s a very high chance of dolphin sightings🐬

@gusseting@mastodon.social It's the same in Scotland, many of our walls were build through indentured servitude. Every thing that gets built, has people's lives and bodies in it. Far more profoundly when they had no choice.
