preserved, it is raw. <<
Actually it's not been preserved so much as recreated. A few years ago
there was an almighty row about it. They planned to cut the trees down to
return Drummossie to it's original state - however there was also a legend
about Scotland would only have it's own parliament when the birds sang on
Drummossie Muir again - of course cutting the trees down would stop the
birds singing. Hence the big row about it. The trees got cut down anyway.
Now they are also starting to acknowledge more and more that it was a
civil war Scot against Scot not Scot against the English. So when you do
visit honour all those who died fighting for what they thought was right
and best they were nearly all Scots.

You do know that you may not be able to get near it because of the
condition it is in.<sigh>
When are you planning the tour. My usual offer applies about information
both about Scotland and about where they actually filmed and of course if I
am available a quick walk through with this is where they stood routine.
Let me know if you are interested.
Elaine.
