Standing Stone in Perthshire. One of the saddest of standing stones, it looks very neglected in the corner of a trailer park. (golux)

The stone is inside the caravan park right against the fence between the 7th and 8th caravans down the East side. (cosmic)

Re: Reconstruction of Blair Atholl Man - new findings by AngieLake on Wednesday, 08 December 2021
(User Info | Send a Message)
Article today regarding this archaeological find from 1986:

Meet the Blair Atholl Man: Pictish-era male with a 'strong jawline' who was buried in the Scottish Highlands 1,600 years ago was NOT a local - and may have been an Irish missionary, study claims
'Blair Atholl Man' was unearthed in the village of Bridge of Tilt back in 1986
Analysis of his bones indicated that he died aged 45 — after a life of hard work
In contrast, the style of burial implied that he may have been someone important
University of Aberdeen archaeologists analysed the man's isotopic compositions
This revealed that he likely grew up far away, perhaps in the Hebrides or Ireland.
