Having not seen the Labby Rock for ourselves, we headed over to the historic trail behind Cromleach Lodge, expecting to find the ancient monument still dressed in foil. Much to our pleasant surprise, the foil had been removed and I began to question whether the whole scandal was some clever ruse. Upon closer inspection however, we did find a few remaining scraps.

Though the picture might not represent the true scale of the monument, it is indeed a site to behold, with a capstone of some 65 tons. It’s not everyday you get to commune with a man-made object created some 5,000 years ago.
