Gibraltar - Small Place, Big Message

Anachronistic Imperial Outpost - Gibraltar

I like history and I like quirkiness.  So I really like the quirky historical status of Gibraltar.  In my ideal world it would stay just as it is.  It came under British control as a result of the Treaty of Utrecht  - a few years after the UK was formed from the union of England and Scotland - at which point in time it was a highly valuable military asset.  It must have been something of a coup for the negotiators.  Eighteenth century Britain was not the power it was to become in the nineteenth. so securing this plum was good work.
