I just added a new book to my recent ‘reads’ on Library Thing: Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell. What an amazing insightful account of the human cost of political struggle…(see foot of the main [home] page of this blog for my recent reads). Library Thing is at http://www.librarything.com/

Prehistoric Sites in Argyll

Vic — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 16:33:58 +0000

Just recently I have had a little time to indulge my interest in the prehistory of this part of Scotland. We have recently been visiting Kilmartin in West Argyll, where there is one of the greatest concentrations of prehistoric activity in the UK. There is a great database collection if you are interested in this topic. It’s at: http://www.rcahms.gov.uk/index.html

We started this visit by travelling to Kilmartin village, just north of Lochgilphead, and about 90 minutes from Helensburgh. The Google Map of Kilmartin is here.
