Beedster 3,074 Posted October 29, 2020 Ah the Scottish Highlands, a geographical area recognised for the highest rate of Wal ownership per head of population worldwide. I must buy this one, I see no risks whatsoever Why have eBay not removed it, I assume the guy that made the final listing you linked must have reported it?
