How about gunfire - does that count as wildlife?

We once went to find some stones at a field Doune - I think the nearby farm was called Half Moon or something.

Parked the car next to a statue of one of the founders, perhaps even the founder, of the SAS and walked down the lane.

We thought about asking permission but it was a long walk and we couldn't quite figure out who to ask.

So boldly, as young idiots do, we continued on.

Climbed over dry-stane dykes, through barbwire etc.

I don't think we ever found what we were looking for, or we did and they had been broken.

Anyway we didn't look too long because we shortly heard the sound of a shotgun and made our escape.:)

Ah so we did find it - the link you've posted is for a picture my friend, or perhaps even me, took.:)

Even back then it was hard to keep up with all the stones etc we were visiting.

I think we travelled all over central Scotland, Perthshire, Fife etc.

If you check out the rest of winterjc's entries you should see some of the place we went to and some of the weird sights we saw.

One thing that comes to mind is s stone circle in the middle of a roundabout, one in the middle of a housing estate.

And on the same housing estate, or nearby, something that had been moved.

Can't remember if it was a stone circle, a kist or something else.
