Thank you, Raven. I had only ever heard of and visited Stonehenge
almost 50 years ago. I remember it was so  hot I was glad to seek the 
shadow of each stone. One could stand close to them then. A German 
lady and I shared the shadow of one stone.  :grin:

Quote from: Raven on Today at 11:23:13 AMI love The Ring of Brodgar, it's supposed to be even older than Stonehenge. I even met and shared a mug of Coffee with Neil Oliver there a few years back, he's so interesting to talk to.

The stone circle originally comprised up to 60 standing stones, of which 27 remain today. The circle measures approximately 104 metres in diameter, making it the third-largest stone circle in the British Isles. The tallest stones reach over four metres, and the circle is surrounded by a rock-cut ditch up to 3 metres deep and 9 metres wide, carved from solid sandstone. Unlike many henges, there is no evidence of an encircling bank, but the site is classified as a Class II henge with two opposing entrances.



This is very impressive ! 

Ps you don't watch Outlander do you ? 😀
