Drumtroddan Standing Stones. This old feller is the last stone standing in what was once a row of 4, possibly 5 stones, pointing towards the Galloway Hills in the east.

The quest to decipher the 4,000-year-old writing system of Linear Elamite had long been considered impossible to crack.
"Of all the writing systems used in Iran, the only one that is truly local – developed within the territory we now call Iran – is Linear Elamite."

Stone that has witnessed thousands of years of history.
Monumental figures carved into rock gaze into the distance with the same dignity they’ve held for centuries. Every detail – from facial features to traces of ancient color – tells a story of power, belief, and the human desire to leave something eternal behind.
Standing here, it’s impossible not to feel the weight of the past.
