We visited Ballochmyle Walls yesterday, a place we had always wanted to see. Looking at all the various photographs taken, reading all the information available makes this site a must to visit.
On finding the site, you are amazed at the size of the area and the sheer number of carvings. One major things hits you, this site is so amazing, you cannot take in the quality and size of the place, but on the other hand from looking at pics taken since the site was first found in 1986 and looking at it now, this site is in need of major help. The sandstone is weathering at an alarming rate. I have to wonder, this is such an important historical site, why is this place not being looked after on a national level, it surely must be so important. If we do not do something to look after this site, it will be gone within 10 or 15 years. The site is under constant threat from damage from various sources, so please lets try and save this so important and beautiful site.
