Hi Girth Summit, review follows: article created 9 August, article exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline to reliable sources throughout; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing from the sources I could access; the cite used in the article for "Coo Palace" is offline but the BBC news articles confirms the name (and 12 cows); hook is excellent, though I think "Kirkandrews, Scotland" might help place the location for those unfamiliar with Scottish sub-divisions; a QPQ has been completed
