Mossy old trunks along the river Clyde.
The remains of Bothwell castle, a possible scene in the Mary Queen of Scots drama.

Is it possible to have too many pinnacles on a gothic tower.? The Scott Monument answers empathically no! There is no problem at all with mounting pinnacles on pinnacles on pinnacles.
