Hi there,

I hope i can help a little...

Claunch rock art

I visited the site earlier this year when the weather was not too good, but managed to find one of the really good panels. The panel recorded as Claunch 1 was destroyed by the farmer to clear land, this was done after talks with the relevant authorities.

I spoke to the son & daughter at the farm, both were very helpful and allowed me to look around the farm.

The farm details...

Mr Harold Young

Claunch Farm. Sorbie Newton Stewart DG8 8AJ

Hope this helps...
