An interesting read Moss, if a bit rambling (am recovering from the lurgy at present, so have more time to read). To me it seems the cairn was constructed with the best of intentions but the borderlands have been contentious for centuries. I have good friend who after coming into an inheritance has recently bought a clay-walled longhouse near Carlisle. She did this to reconnect with her parents extended family who come from the 'debatable lands'

I noticed when we met up recently (she still has a home nearby) she seemed a bit fiercer than previously.
As Jo Cox's husband said on the news this morning - Jo would have wanted us as a country to look at the things that unite us, not divide us. I think our ancient heritage, whether it be on Orkney or in Cornwall is one of the things that unites us. And should Scotland ever break free of the UK politically we will still be the British Isles. No-one can change that.
