It works for me sometimes though, for example I see the group going down just to climb again and I stick to the high ground.<br />You're right there Sandy, the dynasty of Fergus only goes back 900 years or so while the stones at Cairnholy are at least 4000 years in place. <br />Thanks Lynn, we might not have too many mod cons here but we have history.<br />The Glebe Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609629219727888442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296862845552222054.post-89719594434948003612013-08-20T17:11:01.133+01:002013-08-20T17:11:01.133+01:00glorious shots---love the back story on the lost v...glorious shots---love the back story on the lost village!Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296862845552222054.post-34547657364321383222013-08-20T07:32:35.552+01:002013-08-20T07:32:35.552+01:00Often wandering about the area there are little th...Often wandering about the area there are little things like Balgreggan Motte. Little reminders that not that long ago people the country was a completely different shape and people lived in completely different places.
