It could be a whole new game... 'Complete the Inscription!'
My daughter teaches 20th century British Lit. and took a trip over a couple of years ago and also a quick tour of Scotland. I think only a day.
She visited my favorite poet's home there. I love Wordsworth. I will have to ask if she also visited here.
I too like old stones and markers. They are always so interesting.
I am adding you, Holly and Ratty to my blog John. Which do you prefer? Here or English Wilderness?
I am guessing English Wilderness. Just drop over when you can and let me know!

I will have her ask her friend who teaches this period in British Lit. and see if she can find out anything more about the drowning. She hopes to return to London soon.
I am hoping I get to visit as well. I am into the Elizabethan period. Everything about that period is like candy to a baby to me.
Oh, how sad (and intriguing) that the inscription wasn't finished! I got into trouble with my husband in Scotland. I was so fascinated by Scottish history that I was writing things down and it led to a bit of an argument!!
