He took it to us in his Land Rover instead.

Grave diggers are livin' large in Shetland these days.

Dem convention.

‘This is shown by the four stones which have been found there bearing the ancient alphabet known as ogham, and the amazing stone found in 1992 – the well known Mail Stone – depicting a mystery figure in dog-head mask.’

Are we looking at the bootom of the stone or the top of the stone?

Thanks BGHater. I found this topic while searching for instances of this:

Wednesday, August 6, 2008
...and found I'd never seen it. The Johnson article is from an unusable source, and the stories there don't stay up for long, so anyone interested had better grab it.
