The Shelter Stone by jamibann

The Shelter Stone

Hubby took this photo of me underneath the 'shelter stone', which we discovered on Wednesday's walk - it's either for sheltering from a storm, or, perhaps for bird watching. Inside the little 'hut' is a plastic box where you can sign the 'guest' book, which of course, we did. Inside the plastic box are also 2 miniature bottles of whisky and a mars bar, which we did not take advantage of! However, in a storm in the Cairngorms in winter, you just might be tempted! And Woo Hoo, today is the shortest day ... here's to the gradual return of the longer days!

Great picture, Issi! And yes, longer days are coming!

This is awesome... so jealous... I want to find something like this... and honestly, I might have tried a little whiskey if it was cold enough !

You look amazing there framed in that wonderful stone wall. Smiley face & an interesting find in that shelter stone! What a thrill it would be to be desperate to get under cover & then find those survival goodies!

What fun it must have been as you discovered this! AND that someone thought to place a guest book there as well as sustenance! You look simply adorable, and in something of a proper Scottish setting! Tell your hubby he did a nice job of capturing you there to share with us all! Merry Christmas, m'friend! ♥

what a great little find, and so interesting to wonder what it's original purpose was all about - shelter or hide?

A lovely photo, I was watching a programme the other day about these sort of places, it was very interesting and I would imagine a godsend for anyone caught in bad weather.

Thank you for your comments on my card, I love making them but I have done a few too many this past month!!

That's just lovely. I can appreciate that in the wilds of winter the supplies would be good for weary travellers.
Like you we celebrate the shortest day and magnificent full moon. Enjoy!

What a good idea. I would imagine hikers could easily be caught in a rain or snow storm. The small shelter would help them to keep warm and dry.
