Women's climbing club recreate century-old photo at mysterious Strathblane rock feature

An all-women climbing club have re-enacted a photograph taken around 100 years ago at a Strathblane geological curiosity.

The ‘Auld Wives Lifts’ on Craigmaddie Muir features three randomly assembled large boulders which were likely left by a retreating glacier at the end of the last ice age.

About a century ago, Robert McNeil produced an image of 17 men around the stones and sold a hand-tinted version of the image as a postcard in Strathblane, where he ran the local post office.
