The Long Man's Grave "Traditionally the grave of a suicide, or perhaps the victim of a murder; according to Hunter, that of Macbeth. The tumulus when examined, however, proved to be a 'druidical stone' that had toppled over. Nothing was found to support these traditions." "This grave is marked by a stone slab, 0.5m wide and 1.8m long, lying flush with the ground on the grass-verge of the road and with the modern stone dyke over-riding one end. This stone is probably a 'grave slab' and not a "standing stone" which has toppled over. There is no evidence of a cairn or tumulus." ‘“The Long Man’s Grave” | Canmore’. 2023.

Collace Quarry Manufacturing &amp;quot;a range of asphalt mixes&amp;quot;. So, they&amp;#039;re basically like a chef in a kitchen, whipping up different asphalt mixes like it&amp;#039;s nobody&amp;#039;s business. And get this, they even follow the EN standards! They&amp;#039;ve got it all - hot rolled asphalts, asphalt concretes, stone mastic asphalts, pre coated chips, and even cold mix for base/binders. It&amp;#039;s like a fancy asphalt buffet, all up to code and ready to go. Who knew asphalt could be so gourmet?
