The case of the disappearing white stones continues
I would like to thank all the enthusiasts who emailed in to be included in the SLNAG mailing list. The response was much better than we had anticipated and we are pleased to see that so many are out there enjoying the Trail of the 7 Lochs.
Unfortunately we are losing marker stones on a regular basis. We are not sure if this is due to children, unaware tourists or targeted removal. As we are encouraging the use of the trail we feel obliged to ask you to make sure you remain safe and carry a map or an alternative source of navigation whilst the problem of removed markers exists. We will continue to mark the route with stones as accurately as possible until we are able to replace them with wooden post markers as and when funds allow.
Yours – Katie Ellam
