Landmarks by D Craig
David Criag writes in his Preface- 'Wild rocks have occupied a deep space in my mind since my memory began. Rock has always seemed to me the most real stuff of the earth. From the ancient upstanding ruggedness of those granite crags of my Scottish birthplace to the gorgeous sophistication of Sigiraya, rock came for me to be the chief thing in nature. So I set out to visit as many as I could all over the world, to touch them, climb them and walk round them and find out what they meant. . . Some outcrops are famous - these days the image od Uluru (Ayres Rock) is almost as familiar as St Paul's Cathedral. . . Some are colossal, like Gibraltar. . . Some are lowly but pregnant, like the outcrop of Dunadd in Kintyre with its footprints where the kings of Dalriada stood to be crowned. At Ewaninga, I saw an emu footprint pecked out on a slab of red rock. . . this is the start of writing, only one remove from prints left spontaneously in the ancient mud - the dinosaur footprints I saw west of Tuba City in Arizona, or the footprints left by Palaeolithic people in the estuary of the Usk.
