Hey, you're fine. I've been looking at ancient sites most of my life. I think the farmers up here are slowly getting round to protecting sites. Certainly the two I spoke to in Moray yesterday are good examples. As for sites in Moray/Angus/Highland and Aberdeenshire somebody has to make note and record them, but there is a long long way to go. Also hunted quite a lot in the Lake District and Wales. Agree with you about Broomend Of Crichie, at least the henge still survives. Old Keig is still in fine shape, tho the path at the top of the path is booby trapped with spiky things which I saved SC from standing by promptly standing them myself. Nae luck!!

I really glad to hear that, i didn't seem like they realised how important what they had on there farms is [ i think this is maybe because there is so much, so it's not so important to them because they think well what's it matter as there's stuff everywhere] you're like something on their shoulder saying yes i'm watching you, i think that is so important, Keep up the good work, you're a superstar!!
