The ruined Carnasserie Castle looks down across the landscape from it's high vantage point, also with commanding views over the southern approach to Loch Awe. This 16th-century tower house held an envious position! HFF and a good weekend,,,,,,,,, A large view if you are able!

No takers for the outside areas this morning, it turned out nice though ! The River Ford is in the valley and the higher ground is looking towards Kilmartin Glen. The roller and spade must be where the gardener stopped work for the day, ;-))) I would appreciate a large view, if possible,-----------HBM and a good week!

Around which are seven smaller stones and one fallen one. Another menhir is one hundred metres to the northwest leading towards the circle. Alexander Thom toured this site with Magnus Magnusson in 1970 in a BBC television documentary called "Chronicle : Cracking the stone age code". He suggested that "gave so much information that it must be regarded as one of the most important, if not the most important sites in Britain". He clarified his hypothesis that it was a lunar observatory for predicting eclipses.
