Nice wintry shot of Tap O' Noth. What you up to on Clashmach Hill? Is there anything old up there or just there for a walk? thelonious Posted by thelonious

Cheers T. Cairns on Clashmach and Allrick. Great walk, never been up that hill before :-) drewbhoy Posted by drewbhoy

Sounds good. Was that today? Chilly wind?

I walked past Kinellar Church this morning. They are doing work there at the moment. There is a big stone which I've not seen before, maybe around 6ft. Don't know if you ever pass this area often but maybe worth a look. Missing stone from the circle? just wishful thinking.

Here's a link to a photo. I won't upload on TMA as I guess it's just a stone.

Yeah it was today. Clashmach/Allrick funnily enough was ok despite the wind and occasional snow shower. Pass that way quite a lot so will have a look as well. Was also across at Both Hill, that was Baltic!! Could be, not sure but there is a missing standing stone from Scotsmill.

There's another nice looking stone lying in the field just next to the road west of where the Scotsmill stone was located. About NJ 8194 1385. So many stones in this world :-)

The people at Ferneybrae are good for this type of stuff. Will go in past and ask. You must live close by knowing this stuff? You should come up to Turra sometime. drewbhoy Posted by drewbhoy
