thanks for your Ormaig pics matey....petroglyphtasmo.

Some of the motifs & relationships to fissures remind me of The Grange... framing of rings etc

No Probs Rich, i have alot more..lol, as you would expect. More should be up on BRAC any day soon..or on my Flickr pages..Rockartwolfy Photographs

Some nice carvings were uncovered when they were making way for the Half Life installation thingy.

Sounds like a cracking event Wolfy. The most arty thing happening to rock art down here is several spotty little urchins with ASBOs defacing the Haystack Stone.

f-in'ell wolferous one, real beauts of cairnbaan. Another site where the outer ring(s) - fissure relationship is apparent. What hid down those cracks, pesky ancestors :-)

The short channel coming out of the largest multi CnR & into the larger fissure is wonderful.
