A bit of a ‘manufactured’ view – this isn’t what we would have seen if things had gone according to plan and the clouds had stayed away. May ‘enhance’ the photo later.

As a mother hill, Black Combe is almost tooooo perfect, heck, she even has arms. But, an enigmatic mother she is, dark and foreboding, I think it will not be long before I set eyes on her again
Think Greycroft, and you think Sellafield, (or Windscale, or whatever they want to call it to make people feel easier about it) but look to the sea. Greycroft overlooks the coast, that’s why it’s here.
Seperated from his two brothers, but dignified and shaded on a bright June Day. These boys have power.
With it’s weather worn runnels, this could be a Big Brother to the Duddo Five Stones. How many times had I driven past here on the A1 without noticing or bothering to turn off. Rewarded at last.
Showing the Devil’s arrows in a row. The highlighted patch in the trees shows the “captive” arrow on the other side of the road.
The stone in the middle points towards the horizon, and lurking there are a myriad of those white balls you find on the Yorkshire moors for radar or surveillance or whatever (Remember Toyah’s ep cover?) So I wanted something a little darker

Joolio’s Yogic Flying excercise came to an abrupt stop when the Dilithium Crystals gave out over Ilkley moor
Another of the cup & ring marked rocks at Lordenshaws, fainter and less decorated, but still nice on a crisp winters day 2/03
The Hillfort from SSW. You can get a better idea of ditches and form from other directions, but, late in the afternoon (as ever) and this was the best way to catch the light 15/02/03
A ruined Cairn at Lordenshaws, views across to Rothbury in the rear
Many Apologies for the darkness of the photo, but I wanted to show the height of the stone and this was the best pic I had.

The huge Sandstone Outcrop, Cuddy’s cave at the bottom.
An update of my October 2001 pic. I went to have a look at the rock art after some very wet weather and bumped into the great Stan Beckinshall. He was up there doing research for and internet project Durham University are doing with him. I was extra lucky in that Stan had just finished cleaning the outcrop so I got an excellent view of what would have been overgrown the previous day.
Stan is the green clad leg on the very top left of the pic LOL

Now this is a restfull place. Look out over Machrie Bay, across Kilbrannan Sound towards the mainland. beautiful.
In the Modern Antiquarian, Julian’s directions for getting to Lamlash are.....
“Lamlash, on the other hand reqires both an O.S. Map and determination”
Erm, isn’t that the road in the background, er, OK then, erm...next!
This picture shows one area of the rock covered in examples. You wonder how long it will be before the sea erodes them completely
These natural rings are fantastic – well worth a beach walk for.
This pic shows a fault in the outcrop – was the circle ever unbroken, or has it always been that way?
With Dunnideer Hill in the Background, this has to be one of my favourite Aberdeenshire recumbents. The fact that it is so close to the centre of it all (according to Julian) but so overlooked makes it something special.
10yr old Laura models how Neolithic Man would have looked at Routing Linn Waterfall – make sure you see it if you visit the carved rocks.
Large overhanging rocks would have provided shelter.
facing the other way, Traprain Law is the major focus
Taken by my Dad from a hot air balloon. In the centre of the pic you can see the seventh fairway of Doddington Golf Course. To The right of that and below the shepherds house you can see the rings of a settlement.
In between them and the golf course lie some of the rockart

A Bit Blurry this one, light fading and using low res. Just thought the chimney in the distance showed an old vs new thingy
On a grey day at the end of December 2002, Joolio and Moey finally reach “The North Tyneside” standing stone.
The stone isn’t far from the road, travelled the road a few times over the years, never noticed it.
Amazing that this and King Arthurs Round Table have survived. Well worth a look
