Ecobird club has replied to Pam J club
Thank you Pam. The stones fascinate me and although we know they are neolithic and were used as a focus for Bronze Age rituals I think it is all the things we don't know that makes them seem mysterious. Hope you are doing well. Stay safe and have a good weekend

Great standing stones well caught here.

HFF, keep safe this weekend. Herb
4 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to Herb Riddle club
Thank you very much Herb. This is the central ring of stones, and along with the other stones ths roughly forms the shape of a celtic cross. To the east of the central stone there is a chambered cairn where human remains were found. The island has a number of these sites, so I imagine it must have been quite an important area.

HFF and have a good weekend. Keep safe and well.

Ecobird club has replied to Gudrun club
Thank you very much Gudrun - my husband said exactly the same thing about the 'saluting' stone! You would not be disappointed, - I loved the time we spent on Lewis and Harris. - it was far too short though. There are a number of sites with standing stones there, - so much history and beautiful beaches too. Have a good weekend and stay safe and well.

Ecobird club has replied to tiabunna club
Thank you very much George. I am pleased you like it. I really wanted to see these standing stones too and was not disappointed, - they are fascinating and seem quite mysterious. The central stones form part of what is roughly the shape of a celtic cross and just to the east of the central stone a burial chamber was found, although this was thought to have been added a bit later. What surprised me was that there are a number of standing stones sites around here so I imagine it must have been quite an important religious area.

HFF and have a good weekend to you both. Stay safe and well.

Ecobird club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne
Thank you Rosa. It will be nice when we can get out and about again. I had really wanted to see these stones so was quite excited to go there. I hadn't realised there were so many sites around there though. I imagine the island must have been religiously significant.

Have a good weekend and stay safe and well.

Ecobird club has replied to Rainer Blankermann
Thank you very much Rainer. It is a fascinating island with a number of stone circles, although this I believe is the largest. This stone circle forms the centre of what is roughly the shape of a celtic cross. Late neolithic, they were the focus of religious activity during the bronze age. To the east of the central stone there is a chambered burial cairn where human remains were found, although this is believed to have been added at a later date.

Thank you very much Tanja. I hope you get to see it for yourself as it is quite an amazing place and the island itself is beautiful too.

Hi Carol

A very nice picture, which I really like

Fantastic colours in the grass and sky!

Wonderful composition, as might be expected!!
How did you get rid of all the people!!

It looks so different from when I visited there (a picture which you visited 7 months ago). www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/44116730

Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Thank you very much Peter. Really appreciated. I had to be very patient and wait for most of them to move away and take it from an angle that hid the odd person that remained!!! Thank you for adding the link to your beautiful sunset shot The stones look mysterious and breathtaking at sunset. It seems we took them from different angles too so they do indeed look different.

Have a lovely weekend and stay safe and well.

Impressive and a lot of energy to get them there in place. Presumably they have some religious significance. A nice memory of last years holiday for you Carole. Nice musical accompaniment.
4 years ago.
Ecobird club has replied to HappySnapper
Thank you very much Maurice. Yes you do wonder how they managed it. They are late neolithic and were used as a focus for ritual activity in the Bronze Age. This is just one of several site around here, albeit the biggest so I would think the island was of great religious importance at this time. This stone circle forms part of a formation that is roughly the shape of a celtic cross. Just to the east of the centre stone a chambered cairn was discovered that held human remains, although it appeared to be a later addition to the site.

Honestly Maurice it is a holiday I will never forget. The island is beautiful and I would love to go back there some time.

I am pleased you liked the music. Have a good weekend. I hope you are coping ok with the lockdown. Keep safe and well.
