I DEEPLY appreciated Shona Craven’s column on Tuesday .

One time we had spent the day down at Uig and looked in at Callanish on the way back, late in the afternoon. The crowds had gone, the campervans and coaches.

Noting the remark that protective work has taken place at Brodgar, this is good to hear but why is this not moving rapidly and proactively ahead, moved by government directive, for all our sensitive and hugely important places?
