That's interesting Moth. It's only one perspective though, based largely on supposition.

I suppose it's more than we had before though. At least someone is making a half convincing argument that the stone might have been of significance pre-Sir Walter Scott.

It's all a bit tenuous though. It wouldn't stand up in court.

Xacly. At least needs a 'dubious' tag I reckon....

No but, neither would the myths about the Blowing Stone.

Theres a story which I read about....... Its the 19th century, and this rather drunk farmer and his cart were wending their way up the hill to Northstoke and as he travelled along the lane he hit the rather large stone at the crossroads. Who do you think was charged? the farmer being drunk in charge of a cart, no it was the stone, which was found guilty and was summarily executed... true story, I read it in Bath library..
