Great Greenman at Stirling...is that your photograph? I should not be surprised at GreenMen in Scotland, although I usually think of them more in England.
I wish it were mine, but unfortunately I've never been there. Actually, Scotland may have had more Greenmen than England, but the Presbyterians were a lot more destructive than the Anglicans. Don't have an exact figure, but I'd guess at least 80% of the medieval sculpture in Scotland was annihilated.
