Right. Here's a challenge. Can you find Bryntallone?

 Is Barntalloch, or Bretaloch the same place?

Celtic wheeled cross or sun cross

Been trying to find another example of a cross like the one at Arthuret http://www.flickr.com/photos/letsbikeit/7669542184/
the Celtic High Cross is similar, some have the same disc shaped marks on the cross legs. The Arthuret one looks like it may have had metal discs on these features. Still haven't found one to match it though...
Have you?

no biking

I've had to abandon my bike, doctors orders, long story, getting old and falling to bits...so meanwhile been faffing about with some electronics. Got a wee camera and low powered 5GHz transmitter for use on my latest Radio Controlled plane. Tested ok, although the monitor I'm using isn't the best, difficult to see in the bright out door light...However I'm not going to rely on it for long flights, just want to use it to check I'm over the 'Target' when filming. Some people use their cameras to do really long flights. I'm not keen to let my plane go out of sight...It does have a return to launch feature and I'm working on installing a fail safe receiver which will kick in if it loses contact with my transmitter. Theory is, if I configure it properly the plane will fly back to the launch site automatically. we shall see...

Bowholm and Canonbie

When did Cannaby cross over the river Esk and land on the Bowholm? various old maps have Cannaby

between the River Esk and River Liddel.
what's it all about... The modern day Canonbie village was not the main center of population in times gone by. As recently as the 1850s there was only a handfull of buildings at the Bowholm (Canonbie)
