Callanish Standing Stones Monday May 27

A rainy and breezy day. Plenty of time to do a leisurely visit to the main stone circle (5,000 years old) and test the boundary between present and past. Lots of fanciful theories about what they were built for. There are at least 3 other smaller stone circles in the neighborhood. Once buried in 5' of peat and cleared in the mid C19th by the local big landowner. A few stones had to be returned to the site after being used as parts of a few local houses.
