Thanks for posting this. I live in the village and I often go to the stones. I didn't know about the ley line (presuming that is what the dragon current is). I think that some of the Girdle Stanes were lost as rivers can change course significantly over thousands of years and during catastrophes such as floods they can change overnight. Also there are some very large stones in the river near Girdle Stanes which I would guess are from the original circle, although I'm also open to it not being a full circle. Loupin stanes may have had another circle around it as there are some recumbent stones outside the main circle. I wondered if the 'avenue' of stones between the two circles are actually markers. What if they mark the dragon line? Or are their positions related to stars?

Actually I do. My husband put one up at West hills in Aberdeen. They had work to do underground and rather than just grass it over they put a small stone circle It's just 2 weeks old. He said it came to mind coz I take him round all the standing stones and stone circles in the uk. Away to Avebury tomorrow. Thanks for all your hard work. I wouldn't know where most of them are without your help.

Excellent quality

Thanks for publicising but its not Henge its a Circle . The original site was cleared and constructed in the middle of winter with help of the youth of YOP programme back in late 1970s. The young lads unemployed and just out of school worked with pick and shovel with poor clothing for such an outdoor task. Those men today can be proud of their part in Duncan and Johns visionary project for the City. I was their Clerk of Works . ...

Nice thanks

Wow, this is great. We have a few modern ones in Wiltshire but nothing like that.

Thank you sharing.

Personally, I believe these sites had mystical/magical properties, especially when you consider their proximity to ley lines. I am no expert, but their proximity to water, and the likelihood of underground water sources/lakes combined with electromagnetic qualities of standing stones and water must produce some effect (a thing which was more noticeable in less technologically advanced times?). I can't help but think that their alteration/near destruction in modern times is a deliberate, systematic act to hide their true purpose. 'Rebuilding' sites, particularly in Ireland, is a travesty IMHO. Thankyou for this detailed video. New sub here 👍🌻

Breaks my heart that these earthworks are not and were not protected against stone robbers and road builders, and how about taking the trees out, taking it back to what it looked like eons ago. They were obviously something quite important when built and who knows, will be important in some way in the future?

I moved to Balfarg in 1983 from Larkhall. Me and my mates used to play football on the henge, and at that time the surrounding houses weren’t there. I lived at 95 Tummel Road so the henge was opposite the rear of our house. I may also add, I found an old Irish shillelagh next to the henge that I kept for years.

I believe the the stones were placed in the ground to tune into the earths electromagnetic fields and listen to what they believed were there ancestors.. The earth is a big ball of electricity . It was the metal ore content of these stones which was most important .These people understood the basic truth that they were the earth and not something just living on it. They knew how to listen to there minds and understood how to achieve greater clarity of thought at certain times of the year and commune with the ancestor spirit. The stones enabled them to achieve this greater clarity of thought. You only need 2 stones in alignment to mark the equinox or solstice not a full circle. Snakes and Serpents featured so much in there stories because this was the earth telling them that for 95% of its past it was a reptile, mammals are only a very new species. Fire being our earliest ancestor.

Thank you for taking the time to make and upload this explanatory video. It's the best I've seen on Barnhouse complex.

I have been to both combining them with a hike from Penrith to Pooley Bridge.Quite a long time ago so i can't remember much about them.The Devils Arrows at Boroughbridge is another site marred by a motorway.

They are trading sites - hence the ditch/moat 🤓

They were “clocks”

Thanks for this Martin. I enjoy the fact that you do much much research into the history of sites.

Two beautiful sites that I haven't heard of before. Thank you so much for this wonderful video!

A great video! I'm really looking forward to seeing these stones this year on my first visit to Arran!

Played on that as a wean in the 70's

Do you know of any modern Stone Circles or Standing Stones? Comment below!

Would have liked to hear the drumming instead of the airy-fairy voice & music drowning out the sound of the water.

Callanish is beautiful. Thanks for this.

Very interesting, thanks for the video

What an amazing place Callanish, Isle of Lewis looks to be. Certainly a place I'll be going to. Thanks Martin

Calanais is so bonny, you inspire me to get up there and visit. Thank you Martin beautiful cinematography 😊

THANK YOU MARTIN 👍🙏>>>💚

Braw That !

The Camus Stane was a separate monolith that stood to the north. Just to the south were the 'Cat Heaps' two massive cairns that were plundered for road material. Apparently in the gardens of houses to the south lie the bases of these cairns. When the road was being constructed in the 18th century, burials were found extending for a mile, in cists and in rock-cut graves. Weapons of bronze and Iron were found, although where they are now, I have no idea. Mounds yielding burials have been found over the ground as far as Mortonhall, where the famous scabbard was found. A scatter of Roman coins was found during the construction of Frogstone Road. This is one of the largest prehistoric "cemeteries" found in Scotland, but has never been properly investigated!!

Great video thanks! I'd love to observe Southern Major Lunar Standstill moonrise from the northern stone of this row looking along the row to the next stone(s) to the south. A marker/lights might need to be positioned to show the stone locations. I found this alignment possibility on the stonesofwonder website, a valuable resource.

I Googled standing stones in Edinburgh years ago a website had a few dotted around Edinburgh. The pub at Longstone has a standing stone on the picture on the front. Longstone inn ? Newbridge roundabout across from McDonald's there is an old burial ground mound which was created after the ring of standing stones still there today is in a little park. But as you drive towards the roundabout heading out of Edinburgh on your left 5 meters from the road up against incorporated in the grounds of an office building is a massive megalithic stone that once was an outer circle of stones of what still stand today. It is ginormous ! Strange people were doing this all over Britain from orkneys to stonehenge to globeki teki. They had to be calendars

Thanks Martin. I live ‘amongst’ these stanes and they are very important to me . I’m up at Oxgangs very near the Caiystane and the Buckstane and Morningside is just doon the hill. I’ve known these all my life. But I never knew about the face! 😂. So thanks!🤗

You can certainly see that face on it. That in itself is remarkable. Thanks for this.

I think like my 15th or 16th great grandpa died in the Battle of Flodden Hill. His name was James Henderson. It wasn't until recently i found out why the Bagpipes are played at the funeral of every fallen Officer, here in the United States.... And i was told it's because James Henderson and his family were the Pipers, Chanters, and King James IV own personal Guardians. My dad, Larry Wayne Henderson oddly enough was known to John Gotti and others in Federal Prison here in the United States, as "The Guardian". He also befriended all surviving males of the Branch Davidian compound raid in Waco, Texas. They too..called my dad The Guardian. Must be one of those Blood thicker than water things, he taught me about.

I was there today. 23/04/24. It is midsummer day tomorrow. It was a clear day. You could see to the mountains of the Trossachs, Stirling, Edinburgh, the mountains of Arran and all the bridges of the Forth.

❤there were 13 tribes.of israel

wow, you can clearly see the face. Brilliant

Thank you so much for this. It felt a very sacred space. Your instructions on how to get there were really useful.

Callanish is an amazing place. Thanks for this.

Wow.in the bible the twelve tribes put up stones.i believe that machir went to outer hebrides.and there is a machir bay.there.hebrides translates in ancient hebrew.to ...the hood. How would they know it was on the top.if they hadn't gone all around the uk

A comment for the algorithm gods, and a huge thank you for the Stone Gods 👍😊

Set in former Golf ⛳️ bunker, show's how old golf really is!!! No, sorry. Beautiful 😊
