Subject: RE: Folklore: There IS an Inchcape rock
Thanks to everyone for the information. We are interested in rocks, birds, and traditional music. The walk along the cliff top sounds good, because it would probably not be too hilly.

We plan to visit Loanhead of Daviot, which is an ancient stone circle not too far from the Inchcape Rock.

My husband, who is a retired geologist, has been throwing himself into the study of Scottish geology, and I have been following along. Did you know that Scotland north and west of Loch Ness is entirely different land, with a different history and from a different place than the rest of Great Britain? That land is one with Newfoundland.

We will be returning to the notable road cut at Laxford Bridge. Nowadays it is written up on the Internet, but in 1995, when we first visited Scotland, we had never heard of it. We were driving down a lonely road, saw the rocks and cried, "What's THAT?" Of course we stopped to look and take pictures.

I'll attach an image.
