Lichen on Ancient Stones

Lichen covers the Standing Stones which are situated on the Lundin Ladies Golf Course.

There are three stones and they form a scheduled Bronze Age monument said to date from 2000 to 1500BC. They are formed of red sandstone but the whole surface of the stones is covered in various lichens.

Several different species form a patchwork on the stones.

Little patches of snow mixed in with the lichen.
