'It's a wonderful landscape is Coquetdale, did you ever get up to anyof those hillforts around Alwinton?'

yes...about 20 years ago knew the folks who had the cottage up on clennel street.
awesome place to live. spent a very memorable day up there once walking along the street and mooching about hillforts. Have only been back a couple of times since, but its on my itinery next time i get over that way.

re paulus' dragon question ...is drake stone part of the whin sill, or is it too far west for that do you know. I recall reading that there is a series of dragon/lindworm stories that seem to cluster around the whinsill.
