@JoanaValdez Sorry. I hope Kurt Vonnegut can bring you some cheer: ‘As for literary criticism: I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing....is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or a banana split.’

[Gavin MacGregor @gmacg_1]

I think it was suggested children sitting on the stairs to the upper balcony may have carved them.

Perhaps the multiple sails suggest vessels heading across the Atlantic with people leaving Skye's township with clearances, friends and family never to return...

From prehistoric rock art to contemporary graff, the archives histenvscot have been collecting and curating Scotland’s writing on the wall. Today they celebrated 1 million digital records! #archives… https://t.co/zew00WckO1

The Keepers Cottage

... a #graffiti palimpsest

perhaps, like a strange affection, it now soothes this ruinous building, as it waits ...

@ninopinturas @aytogr @CHATArch @archaeologyEAA @IncipitCSIC @ScotGraffiti @CHATArch @JoseantMarmol do you know anybody in Spain or elsewhere who may be interested in this case? A striking example of #StreetArt #PublicArt as #CulturalHeritage #ContemporaryArchaeology & tensions in value systems about who decides where its placed & curated

@57seoras @Archaeo_in_Res @OrkneyGraffiti @alexgchale @OAS_Orkney Ooooh we love a good arborglyph! Great examples of how people choose a specific ‘canvas’ to leave their marks. Usually, but not always, it’s the smooth bark of the beech tree that is favoured! But not always- prove us wrong #graffitwitter

@Archaeo_in_Res @OrkneyGraffiti @ScotGraffiti @alexgchale @OAS_Orkney In its more recent timespan less cool than church graffiti but still interesting.

And the modern rock art carvings have been made in recent years, with several phases of carving, evoking ancient forms.

A great field trip and public event at Scalan to find out from locals the hidden stories of this site which includes mills and a seminary. A collaboration with @ScotGraffiti @HistEnvScot and Tomintoul & Glenlivet Landscape Partnership. #gsofa @birthework #morayshire
