wow - that's interesting - cant believe we didn't know about that one. lovely carving too.

any particular astral features to be seen in the locale on the 21st / 22nd?

we saw the moon over midmar a couple of years back at summer solstice but became convinced the recumbent could be a siting level for it - the angle of the hills in the valley wouldn't allow it



Yes Midmar has no lunar alignment .As you probably know RSCs tend to be associated with lunar orientations rather than solar so best bet is probably Hatton of Ardoyne for solstice sunset I'll double check and let you know if it's not .
