Martin . . . I love this style of having the slowed-down walk-in, running periodically through the full length of the video. Very atmospheric and tantalising for me, trying to recognise the shapes and the faces of all the people we know in our network, gathered at the centre. As you know, I spent my 70th birthday at the site, reflecting on all that had happened in my life and what had finally led me to this special and sacred location. Callanish is a remarkable place to share memories, celebration and fellowship with like-minded folk. Thanks again for the recollections. Les

Hi Les, thank you very much for your kind words. I wanted the viewers to get a sense of walking up the avenue to the circle. Since our trip to Callanish I have bought a camera stabalizer which will hopefully improve my videos. I remember our day at Callanish was your 70th (that's my kind of birthday) I think there were three birthdays that day, which was unusual for such a small group. I am sure there were three other birthdays throughout that week. I hope to visit in 2025 for the Major Lunar Standstill. Enjoy New Zealand, best wishes, Martin.

The western Isles, and especially the mini, amazing megalithic monuments along the coast, and shorelines of the islands, are one of the things on my bucket list that I hope to do before I die someday. I feel an irresistible pole towards these places, but unfortunately life gets in the way, and the United States is a very long way from the western Isles. The closest I can say I ever got was Glasgow and Edinburgh. Any place that can produce a creature as talented and gorgeous as Julie Fowlis must be a wonder. I have heard stories about the stones of Stenness that there were people of great stature with dark skin that constructed that particular monument. Have you ever heard this story before? There are circles of stones in North America that have been kept quiet by academia. There are also stone houses that resemble those at Skara brae and the barn house settlement although not exactly the same, but no one knows exactly who built them or precisely when. It is known that they are very old and predate all the other Native American structures in the area, and many attempts have been made to explain them away, but the theories do not hold any water.. I personally don’t think the Native Americans built them. I think some of the same people that built the monuments in England, Ireland, Scotland, Galicia, and several other places who were sailors, explorers, engineers, builders, shipwrights, and generally very bright… migrated over a long period of time. As they traveled, they would build settlements in different places all over the world. Some of the members of their people would stay behind and settle in those places which formed a really fantastic network of points of contact throughout the areas in which they traveled. I think they formed trade roots, built these open air temples, and perhaps spread their culture and knowledge amongst people they encountered then perhaps became a part of their culture. I realize that is a rather hair-raisingly speculative and ambitious statement, but it’s something I have come to believe after studying, the marker stones and other things they left behind every place they went. I totally dismissed the argument that all people around the world, the same way, and did similar things at the same time through cultural, diffusion and exposure to some of the same practices. These types of things took too long to absorb, and could not have simply been taught through cultural diffusion or osmosis, but more likely by total immersion in the culture of these people by becoming one of them.

I hope you get over to the UK to see the Megalithic sites. I have heard that black men in boats built Callanish but I have never heard this about Stenness which is on Orkney. I am aware of the mounds, stone chambers, Americas Stonehenge and the Serpent Mound in the states. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

I love this video as it gives me a chance to slowly progress along the avenue from my chair, leading up to the wonderful circle. Its the bent stone at the very top, (the third one down from the circle) as we walk up the avenue that I'm drawn to and very interested in, and the stone diagonally opposite it that is almost heart shaped. I believe these stones were markers for the moon when it goes through it 16.? year cycle? And the shadows that mark the moon as it appears to stand still on the solstice. I'm a complete newbie so probably got it wrong lol, but I just wished you'd have taken a shot outside the avenue facing in so that I can see the stones' positions in relation to each other. If you have a still photo of that I'd be very interested in buying a copy please hon. Thanks for a beautiful armchair tour and your lovely narration xx
