Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Stonehenge !!

This could be interesting when the contributors decide they would like their lump of rock back

Maybe we should charge them for storing it.

Rich ..... you respond more to the 'lived in' places than the 'ceremonial' then from the sound of it ... Jarlshof I have been to ... impressive, as you say ... and I am a big fan of the Brochs that sprinkle the Northern Isles and Caithness.

Never been to Orkney for longer than a few hours ferry stopover on my way to Shetland (though have it penciled in as a Morgan road trip for sometime soon 🙂)... was always focused on the music, drinking and general carrousing associated with the wonderful Shetland Folk Festival ... was a 'must do' for years til a hand injury put paid to my music making.

In this NE corner we have the vast majority of the unusual lunar-aligned recumbent stone circles (I think there may be one or two in SW Ireland) ... much more human-scaled and associated with a local tribe, village or group of families ... many are rarely visited and are very personal and atmospheric places to sit and listen to the wind blow down the ages

Another successful grant application.....

Some of you who have either live in Australia or have visited may know there is a full size replica Henge in Western Australia, near Esperance in the south. Here - https://esperancestonehenge.com.au/

We chanced upon it on a holiday a few years ago and being the only visitors at the time, we wandered all over it and even lay on the alter stone (with no ill effects). It was and I guess, still is, a truly amazing place and the very last thing we would ever have expected to come across. No busy main road nearby either!
