"Scone Palace."

How about "Crumpets Castle?"

Long live the Highlands and William Wallace's actual last words:

"SCOTLAND!!!"

Quote from the article:

“”To see the plan of what was a beautiful Gothic church emerge from the ground after being lost for 400 years is very exciting.”

400 years, huh? Why 400 years ago? Must have been the Protestant Revolution.

Why are these things always buried...where is all this dirt coming from?

[DancesWithCats]

Moot Hill? Scone Palace? (Was this article written by the producers of Candyland?)

All jokes aside, this is a wonderful find! I'll be looking forward to reading more as they dig further. Must be so exciting to be on-site with it all! PING!!

Excellent.

Nice write-up on Robert the Bruce here:

http://www.britannia.com/bios/robertbruce.html

“Robert Bruce is surely the greatest of all the great Scottish heroes, yet the Hollywood movie Braveheart gave all the heroics to his compatriot William Wallace, making Bruce out to be nothing more than a self-serving opportunist. However, it was the patience and cunning of Bruce that Scotland needed, not the impetuousness of Wallace, especially facing such formidable enemies as the English, first under Edward I and then under his son and heir Edward II. Bruce bided his time; he first had to establish his authority as King of Scotland. By the time of Bannockburn, he was ready.”

Now if they could just find Oliver Cromwell’s head ...

Nice link. I always thought the Stone of Scone was on an Island in the firth of forth.

The survey has also uncovered evidence of a massive ditch around Moot Hill

Would that be the Moat of Moot?
