I have never noticed any thing on Ben Gullion but after looking at some pics I took yesterday you can just see it on the hill. I tried zooming in but it was just too blurry.

Thanks JD! That solves that mystery. Great zoom on that camera. What kind of camera is that? Would love to see Campbeltown from up there.

Christ sake Bubba, dont go mentionin the trees on Bengullion whit uvver yi dae. See lake uvvrythin else in this wee toon o oors, there haes tae be a hoorafa row aboot things before wir happy. Were miserable barstewards at hert.
Noo yiv seen first hand the stramash aboot the walk thats gan through Kintyre, an the same wi the library an the new dookin hoose ower the green. Well, a wheen o years ago it wis the sem bloody thing when the Forestry wantit tae pit trees on Mrs Gullions lad. The toon wis split doon the middle aboot whither there should be trees or naw.
Theyll probably naw uvver be cut doon yi unnerstan, cos it wid be hoora dear tay take them oot as theres naw a lot o them.
Best thing yi can dae in future is ask kinna kwettly aboot things afore yi jump in wi the high heeled boots wi the pointy toes.

Ah saw on wan other bit on here where yi wir askin aboot how the decision makin process works here. Well seen as yir naw uvvryboady ahll tell yi.
Something new rears its heed. Some are for it, an some ur naw for it. There a bit o a shindig an somboady tells yi that their the only wan that knows uvvrythin aboot it an the rest o us ur bloody gallolls, so we should shut wir mooths an dae hoot wir tellt.
If yi dont believe me, jeest go back ower the bits aboot the stuff ah hae mentioned an yi can see fur yersel.
They tell me its caad democrassy or some other thing.
Ah better go, cos a had a hoorafa feed o sprouts for mi dinner.

Bobbie

Nothing fancy, Canon Powershot G3 4.0 mega pixels with a Canon tele converter TC-DC58N 1.75x lens. As i said, did not use a tripod, so not perfect.
If some one else does not get up before me, I will try to get a pic from there and post on here.

Awww Pop! That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me... go climbing around scratching and scraping themselves and drawing blood! Just to get a picture. Just a good thing it wasn't your leg... or your neck! Did anyone hear the echo of Pop yodelling in tongues from the rocks when that happened?
