Last Notes npub14jpa6gl7wn9rplrvdg64r4364zflvcfcthe885zn87zragk3z4dsjvjhhl Kristie We only ended up at Tealing Dovecot (or Doocot in Scotland) on our way to Tealing Earth House. I was keen to get to the souterrain, so thought twice about going in. To be honest, the building seemed rather unremarkable.... I couldn’t have been more wrong. Open the door to this incredible Doocot in Angus by reading our short blog (with photos!) https://www.thedrystonecompany.com/drystone-diary/tealing-dovecot-angus-scotland #Historic #History #Doocot #Drystone #Scotland #Angus https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/112/785/475/335/930/178/original/fcd4ac7726ad99b3.jpg npub14jpa6gl7wn9rplrvdg64r4364zflvcfcthe885zn87zragk3z4dsjvjhhl Kristie We saw several between the stones! npub14jpa6gl7wn9rplrvdg64r4364zflvcfcthe885zn87zragk3z4dsjvjhhl Kristie This is very very cool! Thank you for sharing. npub14jpa6gl7wn9rplrvdg64r4364zflvcfcthe885zn87zragk3z4dsjvjhhl Kristie I feel it too! It's a pretty incredible connection to have, to be able to interpret (in some way) the work someone did 2000 years ago. I can't think of anything else that has the same permanence. Drystone is very special. npub14jpa6gl7wn9rplrvdg64r4364zflvcfcthe885zn87zragk3z4dsjvjhhl Kristie There are some from the site also in museums. They are also covered in winter. npub14jpa6gl7wn9rplrvdg64r4364zflvcfcthe885zn87zragk3z4dsjvjhhl Kristie Souterrains and brochs are some of the earliest examples of drystone walling that we can see here in Scotland (around 2000 years old). As drystone wallers, its hard to pass up the opportunity to see such early examples of our craft. Check out our visit to Carlungie Earth House in Angus, Scotland. https://www.thedrystonecompany.com/drystone-diary/carlungie-earth-house-angus #Scotland #History #Souterrain #Ancient #Angus #Drystone https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/112/778/387/424/004/532/original/1dd7558885398f78.jpg npub14jpa6gl7wn9rplrvdg64r4364zflvcfcthe885zn87zragk3z4dsjvjhhl Kristie Take back the throne! npub14jpa6gl7wn9rplrvdg64r4364zflvcfcthe885zn87zragk3z4dsjvjhhl Kristie A wee blog about the amazing Aberlemno standing stones. Aberlemno feels like the centre of the Pictish universe. Huge, carved, Pictish standing stones have been pulled from the ground in or near the village. One as recently as 2022. The blog includes detailed photos of some of the beautiful carvings, and bonus images of some really old gravestones in the churchyard. https://www.thedrystonecompany.com/drystone-diary/aberlemno-standing-stones-and-churchyard #Aberlemno #StandingStones #History #Stone #Scotland #Angus https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/112/775/219/103/996/209/original/35ab5aeef5791f67.jpg npub14jpa6gl7wn9rplrvdg64r4364zflvcfcthe885zn87zragk3z4dsjvjhhl Kristie I've been meaning to do this for a long time but here it is...finally!

Here it is looking beautiful by evening window light. 'mindin, mair strang nor stane' is the Scots translation of 'memory, stronger than stone'. Thanks to Ashley Douglas for the translation. #PublicArt #Scotland #Stone #Art https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/112/395/787/610/162/530/original/e80e9e6e1fdf0877.jpg https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/112/395/788/685/127/388/original/79a2b3ddfaa2eb25.jpg https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/112/395/788/678/247/381/original/d03011d12debb927.jpg npub14jpa6gl7wn9rplrvdg64r4364zflvcfcthe885zn87zragk3z4dsjvjhhl Kristie Wild Medium Format Film #MediumFormat #Kodak #photography #FilmPhotography #FilmIsNotDead https://media.mastodon.scot/media_attachments/files/112/345/241/997/046/122/original/214ba96e037adf11.jpg
