Been on the list for some time. Bagged as we head north enroute to Inverness. We arrive in the pouring rain. Cairnpapple Hill henge and cairn first - hill summit and trig then The Knock with its viewfinder. A strange water trapping landscape no wonder prehistoric man was attracted to this place.briandavies11/09/2020
