Tayinloan Boulder

[WTC]

After a sleepless week it was a relief to see that the ‘prehistoric boulder’ was returned to Tayinloan beach. People can be so cruel.

ps are all boulders not prehistoric?

I can't claim to be a geologist of Adam Sedgewicks calibre, yet I thought the same. "Prehistoric" does seem to be a redundant term when being applied to rocks.

Can someone give me a clue what this is about.

Boulder theft, it's rife. Read the last two issues of the Courier, Giz

Can`t get the Courier here, so please enlighten me.

Two weeks ago story in the local paper informed us that a prehistoric boulder had been stolen from Tayinloan beach!

Then is this weeks paper a follow up story stated that it had been returned to said beach.

It’s all a bit mad up here. Hope it does not put the tourist off.

We drove past Tayinloan today and saw two burly men blatantly loading boulders into the back of a car. A couple of the boulders appeared to be quite young (they certainly looked less than 10,000 years old to me) and they were clearly in some distress.

We were going to stop and challenge the Boulder Rustlers, however we feared for our lives (one of them was armed with a beard) so we just sped past. It was all pretty scary.

I had no idea it was so rife. If we're not careful this kind of thing could decimate the turbine tourist trade.

Yours worriedly
