Even if they do guess which stone goes in which hole, we wonder how 
many end up upside down or at the very least,  turned about. 
Tomnaverie was probably not too difficult, but what of another RSC, 
Strichen. That circle has been "restored" twice, both times after all of 
the stones had been removed from the site, we wonder how true to the 
original state the present arrangement is -

We also have a "naked" "before" picture of Tomnaverie -

Must get back up there and take an "after" picture.
