I think the latter pictures with the Volvos are what's left of George Mitchell's graveyard in Scotland... or am I mistaken? The photos were taken in 2014.

My theory confirmed here with some more pictures:

I hope the Jowetts are saved (can't say I have much affection for 1980s Volvos)

Chris,

This is in Cleish in Kinross. It is George Mitchels site. After Jowetts he went into stripping Volvo 340/360's The Battered SC is Mikle Smailes rolled Jupiter. They have all been head butted a million times by sheep. I think the club bought Georges stock as the basis of JCS.
Compliments of the Season,

Alastair Gregg
