After all, none of these boundaries existed when the stones were put up :P

I know, I was just pointing it out :)

some of the boundaries could well have existed back then though - a lot of the county boundaries correspond to the Pictish kingdoms which in turn were based on old tribal areas and so on

yeah granted boundaries are very old, which is why people get upset when new councils want to move them cos they'll get more votes, or something.

Imagine the chaos on TMA if "they" wanted to carve up Wiltshire!!

Is there not some sort of database somewhere that assigns grid refs into counties, or something? :P
