Soraya, last week the Scottish news carried a story of a site in Argyle, important to travellers  being restored and preserved. This is a large heart laid out in quartz cobbles near a road. I think marriages were performed there, sorry I don't have the details.

Bests,

Skoosh.

Hi there skoosh .,... Yes I found that on line quite by accident though didn't know there was current news on it. It is or was called "the tinkers heart" situated on the top of a hill on private land above loch Tyne. The blog I found was about a petition being raised to preserve it as a historical site... I will look for it tomorrow and  put the link here. Will look at the thing u mentioned too. Meanwhile I have already put a paragraph in my novel about young Eddie marrying his lovely Rosa in the crystal edged heart. I am getting great info from friends and their families. Its very exciting and stimulating and my book is growing day by day. Thank you for your input
Blessings soraya
