life hopefully starts to get a little bit back to normal!

Until then, stick a green and white scarf around your neck, put your arms around your loved ones and let's all do the huddle.

Take care folks. Love, Mike, Chris and John.

@kilmartinmuseum This is great. Thank you.

[alex ferrie @alnessgeo]

Can anyone tell me or direct me to information about the source rock used in the construction of the ancient monuments of Kilmartin, Argyll?

[alex ferrie @alnessgeo]

@kilmartinmuseum One more question please. Would this be the source area for the rock used in some of the crosses on Iona eg Maclean's Cross. I understand that much of the material there has a provenance on mainland Argyll but I never knew where. Many thanks again.

[alex ferrie @alnessgeo]

@kilmartinmuseum That's much appreciated. Many thanks.

[alex ferrie @alnessgeo]

Great stuff and the AR Sandbox too! Wonderful #geo #mapping resources. I'm really looking forward to visiting you all in your new school.
