My point was not that Donald Trump should *own* it, but that he should buy it and donate it to the National Trust as a counterbalance. For every golf course he buys, he has to purchase two mountains and donate them to the state.... something like that.

And I was only being half-serious (if that).

Not sure that "the nation" or the National Trust wants to be lumbered with any expense that might come with owning it. Also, can it come to any harm whoever owns it?

Apparently the locals are talking of holding a raffle with the winner taking over the Lordship (or Ladyship) if the community buys it. I think I'll have a bit of that. I could post here as Lord Blencathra...
