Love this one. Just traced my direct Maternal DNA line to Logie 1700s then late 1600s Gargunnock. Will be seeing it for the first time around July/August. Thanks for video. Know where I'm going now.😃
Alas I fear this may be one of those, 'IT'S BEHIND YOU!' situations. For the second hogback stone in the grounds of Old Logie Kirk, the one that I didn't know the location of, may indeed be right behind me, so close that I'm surprised I didn't trip over it. You learn something every day.
Many thanks Dave. Coming from someone like yourself who takes such stunning photographs of Scotland, that means a lot. It is, of course, hard to go wrong in such a beautiful area of the country.
Nice job Edward. I was hoping you were going to talk about the triangulation pillar you were standing at. As a land surveyor I have had to use them many times. The views from them is always stunning. I feel for the other surveyors that carried heavy equipment (I've done it too) up those hills to turn angles and measure distances in the past. Now made obsolete with the advent of GPS.
Many thanks. If you check out my 'East Linton to North Berwick' and even the 'Falkland and East Lomond Hill' videos you'll find I talk about these triangulation pillars in some depth.
Lucinda, can I refer you to the reply I made below to Steve Lesko. In that OS map it was called 'Fossakie'. Other than that I simply do not know. But thank you for your comment.
Many thanks for asking. I've always found the National Library of Scotland's online map facility to be crucial and informative in almost everything I do. This link will take you to one of their pages that shows an Ordnance Survey map dating to 1862. As you can see, that settlement, although a ruin even then, is clearly shown. Spelling of place-names can change with time, but at that time it is referred to as 'Fossakie'. maps.nls.uk/view/74961995
Glad your battery did not die out this time. Du you want to trade your winter for mine? Weather has been so bad here this year that my walks have been very few and far apart.
Bit of a mildish spell the last few days, but getting a little colder now. These days I always carry two charged spare batteries, and occasionally I do in fact have to use them. Always learning.
It's only about two miles there and two miles back, but there's a lot of slope involved, so it's a few hours. Check online re how to read Ordnance Survey maps. The paper one you should buy is 'Landranger 57, Stirling & The Trossachs.' Take care.
