Very nicely done, Martin! Orkney is the last of the great Neolithic areas of the UK left for me to visit. I really hope I'll be able to get there this summer.
@@BeforeCaledonia ....its a compass,,, get the ring onto google maps and line out the stones ,,, put a zero on the end of 104 = 1040 and thats the rotation speed of Earth 1.040 mph,,,, Also 36 stones X 360 = 129600 = 64800 one quarter precessional calendar ,,,,, A lot more hidden stuff there....in these numbers,,,,
Looks like a very special place, certainly a place I'll visit this year, as well as other sites on the way. I haven't been to any stone circles yet, in Scotland, only England and Wales but the stone circle near a village called Llandrillo on Moel ty Uchaf has been the most magical so far. I was there in late January this year. It was a beautiful clear day looking over the Berwyn mountains. Thanks for expanding my places to go list. I'm going to need a longer holiday. About a year should do it.
Hi Lee, I have heard of Noel ty Uchaf and seen photos of the site online, it looks magical. I hope my channel gives you a few ideas of places to visit in Scotland, Aberdeenshire is very good for stone circles. Thanks, Martin.
@@BeforeCaledoniaI feel the same way. Brodgar is outstanding in its dimensions, but the “light” in its stones is dim. Callanish, on the other hand, seems compact, but there is still life in at least a few of the stones. My sense also is the the site itself is far older that thought. My guidance is the the mound of large stones to the south are remains of the original placement, and were knocked down by a tidal wave about 5000 years ago. The present assemblage was built from fragments of the original monuments. At least, that’s what I heard when I asked the site FWIW.

Thanks Martin, I'll certainly be visiting Aberdeenshire, your channel is adding area's to my list. Cheers.
The whole point of the channel is to try and inspire people to visit the sites or make them aware of them. Best wishes, Martin.
A fascinating spot
It certainly is! The biggest stone circle in Scotland. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
some amazing spots. @@BeforeCaledonia
What's you favourite stone circle in Scotland? Leave a comment below!
Ring of Brodgar ... until the next video is uploaded.
I think Callanish is my favourite.

I will be releasing a Ring of Brodgar summer solstice video soon. What is FWIW?
