Found this graffiti on a Beech alongside Highland Water near Bolderford Bridge and it could be useful. The letters are all clearly defined, although they're very ephemeral in nature only cutting into, not through, the phloem layer. There's a date too, 7/14; so I know when it was carved. I've often wonder about the age of the graffiti I come across, and how graffiti scars heal and age. With some it's clear by the date, with others the names sometimes offer a clue, most though are a mystery. I'm hoping that watching these scars heal may shine some light on the process.
