On my first stay there we went to investigate and since that day, when I am in the area I am drawn to visit the battle fields. When I venture down into them, there is a strange atmosphere about them.

Maybe because it's on a road that I don't frequent, quite hard to imagine anything happened here or just that my parents were Scottish ! Back in the day of my Dad's younger days, he used to travel with friends between central Scotland and Tyneside. One of the Tyneside people told him that this was Flodden to which he replied ... "Where's Bannockburn ?" Thanks for the inspiration, i’m not sure why it’s place that I have never visited since childhood.

Which in some ways I am quite glad about. I quite like the history of historical finds but I am rather disturbed about digging specifically for bones...
