Just wondering if anyone has a photo they would like to post of "The Goat" that used to be on the face of Bengullion?

As most folk will know it disappeared off the hill when there was a landslide a few years ago.

History

As far as I understood, the goat became less distinct from the mid 20th Century onwards through the natural process of change in the distribution of vegetation over the years.

The image was very clear up to the 1990's and only disappeared when a landslide destroyed it during the boxing day storm in 1998.

History

Does anybody have any suitable photos?

No one has answered yet. I have ones "somewhere" with Bengullion in the background. Not sure if the image on the hill is on them though.

The best view of it as I remember was from Calton Hill or as the council have now decided to call it "The Bowler Hat" Going off topic, does anyone have any idea where "Bowler Hat" came from? ...........First time I have heard it.
