Gie Us Back Oor Stane!

As controversy still rages about the return of the Elgin Marbles, the people of Bo'ness are clamouring for the return of the "Bridgeness Slab". Sadly, I have to say that the man who discovered it and gave it away was a "Mr Henry Cadell of the Grange". Grangers, eh?

UPDATE: Another BOOB Success.
Lengthy online campaign by Mowgs ensures the return of the Bridgeness Stane.

When Caddell lit thum hae it in the first place this wis menant ti be the deal anyweys - insteed we goat a stane wi the inscription only, the yin thit kin be seen it the fit i Harbour Road.
