[QUOTE=Mael Coluim;653398][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="3"]Chris you are an outstanding photographer! I am also impressed with your love of the Pictish boar.
Here are some photos that were taken when I visited in 2004.
From the top of the fort/hill.

With reference the Pictish boar carving at Dunadd, I stated earlier that it is hardly visible now due to the wind and rain and natural erosion, add to that the fact that your friends walking boots do it no favours either, he is standing right on top of it, but this photo serves a purpose as a marker for future visitors to it's location.
Personally I think it should be better protected and preserved, after all it is carved in the pictish style, and historians believe that this area was not inhabited by the picts, surely it deserves some further research by them.
Many thanks Mael for the inclusion of your wonderful photo's, I am afraid all my photo's taken from the top of Dunadd are lost to technology with the demise of my old laptop, will have to get back up there again, and visit my beloved boar.
Thanks also for the compliments, appreciate you, and everybodies input.
Chris
