	Alnwick On Lion - Frequently asked questions
		There's supposedly an explanation about the sticking-outiness of the column lion which is that it is pointing to Scotland and the tail will wag when the last Scotsman returns to Scotland.
		The other theory was that the sticking out tail was originally only found on statues (the bridge and the column) and they were made that way because it was easy to make.
		During this war the Duke was in charge of the Percy Tenantry Regiment and it is said that having fought alongside them he couldn't see them suffer and so cut the rents.

	To the Gold Coast for Gold - By Richard F. Burton [Authorama]
		As a rule the columns are quadrangular; I saw but few pentagons and hexagons.
		Here a huge column of curiously contorted basalt has been connected by a solid high-arched causeway with the cliff, which is equally remarkable, showing a central boss of stone with lines radiating quaquaversally.
		It is broken by the Ponta da Oliveira, where there is ne’er an olive-tree, and by the grim ravine of Porto de Caniço o Bispo, the ’bishop’ being a basaltic pillar with mitre and pontifical robes sitting in a cave of the same material.

		Thus isolated, and thrown upon my own resources, I spent the hours of my childhood in poring over the ancient tomes that filled the shadow-haunted library of the chateau, and in roaming without aim or purpose through the perpetual dust of the spectral wood that clothes the side of the hill near its foot.
		Walls, columns, and architraves of living fire blazed effulgently around the spot where I seemed to float in air, extending upward to an infinitely high vaulted dome of indescribable splendor.
