Sorry for barging in - I can reply to Nigel's rhetorical question "What kind of a profession etc" with the answer 'a bunch of nitwits'.

I hope this comment furthers the discussion. In Knarsdale (I know, I know, shut up about Knarsdale) there's a special hill. Many of the monuments are oriented upon its narrowest profile. The hill's a drumlin and the shooting estate has just carved a broad road over its flank. It's within a SSSI and it's even possible that E.N. grant-aided the road up to 50%. It looks just crap.
