Superb stuff. Visited the Glen this weekend and I wish I'd seen this beforehand. Thanks.

Absolutely Fabulous, ThankU for sharing!

Thanks Jerri... You'd be surprised how much effort goes into making these. My son is very tolerant of his Dad's inability to get anything right on the first take.

I have surveyed these and lots of other ancient monuments throughout Scotland and have photographed and videoed the sun and moon rising or setting in line with them at different times. However, none of the Nether Largie Stones mark the northern major standstill moon. They do indicate the southern major standstill rising and setting moon, and the midwinter sunrise.

3000 BCE? Amazing how humans have been around and influencing their environment and finding the same environments desirable!

Secret Scotland I’m very intrigued by the standing stones & kilmartin 😎

[@SecretscotlandTours]

@@storrmedia well there's some intriguing stones in Aberdeenshire that seldom get much attention. That could be our next topic.
