Another way

The people making money out of Scotland’s history are moaning that not enough is being spent on preventing the collapse and decay of old buildings, which were never built to last for centuries, and old ruins that were made like that deliberately, e.g. Elgin Cathedral, which was burnt to the ground.
    The historians complain that the people who want to understand Scotland’s history, rather than have their town centre regenerated, need to visit old buildings.
    Fine. They can. In VR Scotland. When going to a virtual reality site becomes the tourism of the future. Everything will be there, including the ability to wander round old ruins safely without risking something big and heavy landing on your head when the place rots a bit more.
