Letters / Missed the point

Contributed

As ever Brian, you (deliberately?) missed the point (Hittite past; SN, 16/04/14).

It’s not about who carved the stone that is hidden away but the stone itself.

Why? Because we have a great new museum where it could be displayed.

People are more inclined to look at and learn about something real and not a replica or picture.

You may be content buried in books, and they certainly have their place, but I still mind my disappointment when as a bairn I was told that the St Ninian’s Isle treasure was fake, and if I wanted to see the real one I would have to go to Edinburgh.
