With reference the Pictish boar carving at Dunadd, I stated earlier that it is hardly visible now due to the wind and rain and natural erosion, add to that the fact that your friends walking boots do it no favours either, he is standing right on top of it, but this photo serves a purpose as a marker for future visitors to it's location.

Personally I think it should be better protected and preserved, after all it is carved in the pictish style, and historians believe that this area was not inhabited by the picts, surely it deserves some further research by them.
Redshank - According to the local Monuments Officer, the carving that you see isn't in fact the original, but an artificial composite replica which is overlaid on the original in order to protect it from weathering. If true then they've done a good job!
