Ever Feel You're Being Watched?

If you happen to be walking round the outside of the Cathedral in Kirkwall, look up, and you will see these wonderful carvings dotted around the walls and edges of the roof...


Now, I've usually referred to these as gargoyles, but I'm beginning to think that at least some of them would be more correctly referred to as grotesques (see the links for the difference)...

But whatever they're called, I think they're great!
