Bigger fines, imprisonment or violence, as you seem to suggest, won't solve anything once the site has been damaged.


Indeed they won't. Luckily I didn't suggest they would.


And what does 'two house bricks' mean?


Don't worry about it Drew - if the authoritarian approach doesn't work, and the two house bricks proves tricky, I'm sure there are other forms of torture to ensure the punishment fits the crime ... e.g. knee-capping perhaps.


I won't but surely the answer is to try and get everybody to work together instead of fight against each other. If we can put up a united front then surely the important ones might listen more Historic Scotland, EH, even the Govts Edinburgh, Westminster etc plus the local authorities (up here they've done well recently with local planners, landowners, archaeologists and architects all assisting each other), even local heritage centres. You'll always get individuals causing damage such as Priddy or Westertown, a cup marked rock buried by a farmer (needless vandalism is a disgrace in any form, who pays for it?). Saving some is better than saving none, it seems, up here at any rate (except at Menie) that message seems to be getting thru. So no sleep lost here except if the weather is bad tomorrow.
