A few years ago we were talking to the landowner of a beautifully intact four poster in Perthshire, and we mentioned that he must feel very lucky to have such a jewel on his land. He replied that no, if it were up to him he'd pull the stones out, seems the circle caused problems with his harvester as it was difficult to navigate around it. At first we thought he was winding us up, but they way he looked sadly at the circle, slowly shaking his head as he said "but they won't let me touch it" really did give us the chills.

So, not only is the latent tendency for megalithic destruction still alive and well, it now comes equipped with heavy machinery.
