If we can put up a united front then surely the important ones might listen more Historic Scotland, EH, even the Govts Edinburgh, Westminster etc plus the local authorities (up here they've done well recently with local planners, landowners, archaeologists and architects all assisting each other), even local heritage centres. You'll always get individuals causing damage such as Priddy or Westertown, a cup marked rock buried by a farmer (needless vandalism is a disgrace in any form, who pays for it?). Saving some is better than saving none, it seems, up here at any rate (except at Menie) that message seems to be getting thru. So no sleep lost here except if the weather is bad tomorrow. Very well said Drew!! Irony aside, your post holds a valuable lesson to us all - vandalism comes in many forms from being ill-informed, neglect, damage done knowingly in the pursuit of profit, and of the course the mindless stuff that seems to be a reflection of the hopelessness of some people's lives. Where do we start ... information/education; information/education - has to start in the schools and outreach. TV programmes, museums, English Heritage (south of the border) and voluntary heritage organisations going out to schools and setting up school holiday projects as happened earlier in the year. Keep on keeping on! June Reply | with quote |  2nd August 2011ce 21:56 In reply to: Re: More damage. (drewbhoy) |
