oo! RA pic on beeb news site
Dec 13, 2006, 21:07
I've just been pleasantly surprised to find a nice shot of Perthshire RA on the BBC news page for Scotland, it's only in a linked form so apologies if this doesn't work...

Hi Peb!
Good promotion for PRA!
The photo is by Paul Brown and probably taken from Stan's latest book "Circles in Stone", Plate 1.
The site is "Ben Lawers" (page 18-22) on the North slope of Loch Tay and on TMA at:

Sorry.... that reply was to bit to quick!
Paul Browns photo in Stan's book has a small scale in the foreground.
So this is the "crown copyrighted" photo by the RCAHMS, probably taken in 2000.

aha!

I'm still not entirely sure why it is on the news page - shouldn't complain I suppose...

Hello Pebs , I think the section of the pic on the web site is a puzzle ,"wotsthis ?" Same pic is used on the "Cupmarked Stones in Strathtay " pamphlet and as jan says an RCAHMS one .
