Orwell on a snowy day, looking from the road. Large image (54k) Looking north-west towards Milnathort. Large image (125k) Is that a UFO, or is it just a snowflake caught in the flash? I think it must be a flash of earth-energy emerging from the rock - definitely not a snowflake. The hairy yardstick is a little over six feet tall. Large image (140k)

Orwell is on the A911 between Milnathort and Glenrothes, near to Loch Leven and Kinross. These two megaliths stand on a flattened mound near the north shore of Loch Leven. They are clearly visible from the road as two fairly insignificant stones standing on the skyline - maybe three of four feet tall. Except that they turn out to be quite massive lumps of rock some eight or nine feet tall. And if you don't like megaliths, the loch is very pretty.
