1. **State the problem:** Rationalise the denominator of $$\frac{15 + \sqrt{5}}{6\sqrt{5}}$$ and simplify the expression.
2. **Formula and rule:** To rationalise a denominator containing a square root, multiply numerator and denominator by the conjugate or the radical itself to eliminate the root in the denominator.
3. **Multiply numerator and denominator by $$\sqrt{5}$$:**
$$\frac{15 + \sqrt{5}}{6\sqrt{5}} \times \frac{\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{(15 + \sqrt{5})\sqrt{5}}{6 \times 5}$$
4. **Simplify numerator:**
$$ (15 + \sqrt{5})\sqrt{5} = 15\sqrt{5} + (\sqrt{5})^2 = 15\sqrt{5} + 5 $$
5. **Simplify denominator:**
$$ 6 \times 5 = 30 $$
6. **Write the expression:**
$$ \frac{15\sqrt{5} + 5}{30} $$
7. **Factor numerator:**
$$ 15\sqrt{5} + 5 = 5(3\sqrt{5} + 1) $$
8. **Simplify the fraction:**
$$ \frac{5(3\sqrt{5} + 1)}{30} = \frac{3\sqrt{5} + 1}{6} $$
**Final answer:** $$ \frac{3\sqrt{5} + 1}{6} $$
