Friends, The spring 2004 Historic Scotland magazine features an article by Richard Welander, collections manager for the HS, and talks about (there are some interesting photographs too) the carved stones found in the late 1920s. It is called "Give me the tools..." A very interesting piece. Regards, Vikram/ Pennsylvania, USA. PS: For those who had requested the NGS article that I had referred to (Jun 1998), I have been in touch with NGS for reprints to be distributed exclusively for Orkneyjar, and expect to hear from them. They are deciding on this weighty issue!
