BENCHMARKS continued
After the
excitement of discovering the FBM it was then back to the good old
bread and butter style benchmarks for Michael Byrne as he continued the hunt on his visit to
Edinburgh. He writes “While the view of Edinburgh from Calton Hill
is the reward offered for the effort, the number and variety of
Benchmarks made the stroll even more worthwhile! This is the first of
two captured on the way up, with this specimen beginning to fade from
the soft sandstone pillar into which it was incised.”

A 'mark on Calton Hill,
Edinburgh, Scotland.

On Calton Hill and looking west towards the entrance gates, with St.
Andrews House (Scottish Government) in the background, which up close
looks like a redundant prop from Gotham City! The 'mark can be seen
at bottom left.
