Just drove past Jimmy's house in Glencoe and it's been completely vandalised.

Lots of "Jimmy the Beast" spray painted across it.

Can't find anything on the news about it so must have just happened yesterday or this morning.

Pretty weird to see it.

Totally mindless....poor buggers who own it now.

However, 'Jimmy the beast' sound almost complementary to me, is that the best they could come up with?

I'm not sure that Jimmy Savile ever owned that house. I think he might have had a lifetime lease on the place, but never owned it.

I think the same goes for every other house on the Glencoe and Dalness estate - owned by NTS.

AFAIK It's still owned by one of his charitable trusts.

I thought he used to live in a Caravan in the BBC car park?

Dalness estate is private. Sold for about £3million not long ago.

Savile bought the Glencoe cottage in 1998 and was described as an "adopted local" by community leaders after his death.

The cottage was to be sold earlier this year but the sale was halted by Savile's charitable trust, who announced plans to convert it into a respite centre for the disabled.

Well I think vandalising a respite centre for the disabled is something we can all get behind

It's not though, not that it makes it any better.

You can always count on the stupidity of the general public. I remember when the News Of The World 'named and shamed' known paedophiles, whipping up a frenzy, and a paediatrician was attacked, because people got confused over what the word meant.

God help you if you happen to be called Jimmy Savile or have some variation of his name.

if I was of the same ilk as the vandals I'd be suspicious as to wether the OP's username is a coded username 😆
