[edit] Death Valley Ranch / Scotty's Castle

Scotty did not build this!

It was built by a Chicago millionaire Albert Johnson, as a winter holiday retreat, although he let his friend Scotty live there, and indeed in his will granted it to a religious organisation on condition that Scotty could stay there until his own death chrisboote 14:25, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I've moved the link down to the See also section and removed the bit about him building it. Slambo (Speak) 15:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
