You are okay! This is just an in-situ reproduction /cast. The real one is well buried underneath.	Posted by Howburn Digger 7th June 2014ce


Phew ! The whole outcrop ? even the foot ?	Posted by postman 8th June 2014ce


Yes. Covered over in 1978. Saving on the very predictable wear and tear on the originals. "In 1978 the entire carved surface, except for the basin, was covered by a protective layer below a facsimile of artificial stone." http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/212008/details/dunadd/	Posted by Howburn Digger 8th June 2014ce
