More about this scene
Here we see an excellent example of glaciations and a remnant of a bygone age. In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII ordered a change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. This was finally implemented in Britain in 1752, whereupon the 2nd September was, somewhat abruptly, followed by the 14th. However, this alteration was not observed in the Gwaun Valley - for many years they refused to change and continued to celebrate New Year on January 13th!
