摘要

描述

Gordon Laing House, Timbuktu.

  • Timbuktu was so remote and hard to get to, it was once of the last cities reached by European explorers. In the 19th century, for the first time, a handful of Europeans made it there and stayed for a while.
  • This is where Gordon Laing stayed after he arrived in Timbuktu. Laing, a Scot, is usually credited as being the first European to make it to the city, but never returned as he was killed on his way back to Europe.

The plaque over the door reads:

To the memory of

Major
Alexander Gordon Laing
2nd. West India Regiment

The explorer who, at the cost of his life,
reached Timbuktu in 1826.

Erected in his honour by
The Royal African Society

in 1963.
