A MUCKLE, pile o' stanes.

the ruins of a very old drystane dyke. almost 1000ft up on the top of the wrae hill, makes you wonder how they got all these stones up there. almost 150-200yrs ago, bearing in mind that there is almost a ton of stone per yard of wall, and this old wall runs for a good distance, along the top of the hill. the small cairn is the result of the hillwalkers who some add a stone from the old wall to the cairn as the go bye. in the background are the meikleholm hill, timpen-mid hill, warbla hill, and part of the castle hill, looking north west. langholm, dumfriesshire, scotland. view large
