The solution is really quite simple and involves no crime or expensive solutions or even enforcing the power of the Law (or creating new Laws). It simply requires any concerned citizens invoking the power of a couple of Newton's existing Laws and the force of Earth's gravity. We had a really enjoyable half hour lobbing melon-sized stones at these stone-stacked "creations" near Imachar. The following day my well-trained 16 year old cleared the piles on the beach boulders at the front of King's Caves in about 20 minutes. At Torrylinn we "re-wilded" the boulder area in less than 10 minutes, but that was about the fifth day of our Arran jaunt and we were really up to speed by then.

Then we built a bonfire of dream catchers.


Sounds easy HD but not that simple on Stowe's Pound, a Neolithic Enclosure with an amazing defensive wall of random granite stones around it. Stones are removed and taken into the centre of the pound where large boulders are lying around and build their fairy castles on them. When finished they are either pushed over or left for somebody else to do it for them. You can't just take them back to the wall and place them back into the same positions they came from as they are not pieces of a jigsaw puzzle! We spend hours up there selecting the best position for each stone, the only clues being those with growth on then obviously coming from an exterior position!
Do that a few times after a long walk there and back and the pleasure of 'putting things right' soon disappears!
