You'd think the beeb would get something local for the pic ,the standing stone in the radio times is from Nether largie only 100 Km to the SW . There is very little recorded prehistoric stuff from the glen but some are starting to be found e.g.

Yes, I wondered about that Mr t. And I wonder why relevant info doesn't accompany these images - in this case, Standing stone from Nether.... Same thing with the image accompanying the The truth about the Picts article in the Independent - no info on who the artist is or when it was made.
Hello Mr L , spose it's easy pickings for us .It could have been worse at least the image was related to the subject but a monument over 60 miles away from the site really is quite funny .

Aye, spose we might be seen as a bit eccentric by non-stoneheads. But the bottom line here is that it's sloppy journalism not to provide a proper pic to accompany an article - or not to provide the artist's name to an image accompanying an article. In the case of the Independent's article the caption below the image seems to imply that the image is 6th century!
