| It is the same problem with other scheduled monuments, although they do have a certain degree of protection, but as Hob says, what is the point of giving a monument more protection only once it has been damaged? A classic example is Ballochmyle, a place that has one of the largest collections of rock art anywhere in the uk, the carvings are on a large sandstone cliff face. The carvings since being exposed in the mid 80's have been slowly damaged year after year, and all the authorities can do is keep a watch on the situation..(this means an inspector looking at the walls every january). At what point do they suddenly realise the carvings are too badly damaged and someone says, mmm, maybe we should have acted a few years ago.. I know rock climbing is a sport, and the people doing it are not intent on damaging the rock, but surely for the sake of the carvings it would make sense to stop the climbing?..there are quite a few other boulders that could be used for climbing. steps of my soap box... wolfy Reply | with quote |  10th May 2007ce 22:00 In reply to: Re: Tossers (Hob) |
