The locations (not to scale) of the above stones in Terregles parish churchyard are entered in the diagram
following. It should be noted by intending visitors who wish to read the inscriptions that to avoid disappointment
it is best to choose mid-morning on a sunny day without any bright clouds to the north whose reflected light
diminish the shadows cast by the engravings. A few bright clouds in the direction of the sun should be helpful
provided they do not obscure it. A dull day is useless for some of the older stones, especially if they are
horizontal, because without the shadows cast by a strong beam of light the inscriptions can be invisible. The same
consideration applies if it is desired to take photographs, whether coloured or monochrome; a flashlight on the
camera should never be used, but if it can be set from about the direction of the sun it could be a remarkable
help, the camera being about 90
angle from the sun.
