Sorry, I don't follow your drift here. How do Demenotrs come into 
this?

Geoff:
The nearest point in Wiltshire to the Scottish border, which itself 
is a long way south of the Highland Region, would be of the order of 
400 miles. Wiltshire is a county to the west of London.

Geoff:
Why? The tunnel entrance at the school end would be more of a 
passageway; Hogwarts is not built into the side of a hill as far as I 
know so the collapse would very likely have occurred in the 
underground section well away from the buildings.
