The fieldnotes here don't paint that happy a picture. I take it matters haven't improved.

I hope it's not a case of 'well, the carvings have been scanned, so we can afford to let them get wrecked'. In a Langdale stylee. I'm dead keen to go have a peek at Ballochmyle, might have to do it sooner rather than later.

Hmmmm indeed.

It was a strange thing, i was so impressed by what i saw, it really has to be the most impressive collection in the UK, but on the other hand i felt so sad to see something so special that was simply being left to fade away to nothing, with very few people even caring about what happens to it, must be something wrong there. If it had been any other historical site there would have everything possible done to preserve it. What is the difference?... i am still amazed to see that it gets no protection from the weather or from people.. why not?..
