I've been looking at the photos and text you sent me. The whole area and discoveries are fascinating, and there clearly seems to be a lot more as yet to discover in the wood. Wally's dowsing abilities would amaze TC Lethbridge. I do hope that he is able to pass on his knowledge/ability so that it isn't lost, like so much of our older wisdom has been. It's so important to keep it alive. In rural Ireland, and here in the West Country, you can still find aspects of it if you search, same as in Scotland, Wales and more isolated rural parts of the North etc, perhaps. Maybe you should try developing your own dowsing abilities Drew.


Making sure we collect all the info and getting his maps copied then grid referenced is the most important thing. I've only had a real look in the woods east (just a wee look but enough thanks to wee discoveries I made to warrant a bigger look further east and south east), Willy has marked loads of areas in the middle area. I've still to search the woods to the west and south/south west. But my guess is the area is hoaching with stuff for which the old fella should get the praise he deserves. Same for Roland, the only guy that believed him in all these years.



With the wealth of material that you all will be collecting, are you thinking of a compendium or possible specialist publication ?


You just never know what goes thru my head, but the Ythan Valley has a wealth of unwritten material and I seem to be wading straight into the middle of it. With ancient tools, maps, folklore, present sites, sites to be confirmed, just discovered and others yet to be. Seems a good idea and has been discussed. Between Willie's stuff, Roland's artefacts, and other stuff collected by various others including my own plus other info about Bellmuir it would be some size of book, however some of the material has been done, so I guess you are right.
