NS4375 : Path on the Long Crags taken 3 years ago, near to Milton, West Dunbartonshire, Great Britain Path on the Long Crags The main escarpment of the Long Crags is to the left, but is mostly unseen because it is at a lower level (a small part can be seen ahead, left of centre), and the path leads almost along the clifftop. As the present picture makes clear, there are yet more terraces above the Long Crags.

Sighthill Park Stone Circle
Duncan Lunan writes: It’s good to see that interest in the future of the stone circle is continuing. The online petition started by Mandy Collins has now reached and passed its target of 5000. We had thought that would be the end of it, but the target has now jumped to 8000, so we’ll let it continue! At the moment the situation is fairly good, but there are a number of issues still to be resolved.
