Just watched Driver John’s video on the Rabbies site. He was a fabulous driver and tour guide during our 2018 trip to Ireland with friends. The video was good John but I kept hoping you would sing!!! Travelling with Rabbies to Scotland (hopefully) in 2022.

I visited Callanish about a decade ago. The stones are amazing. I do need to get back up for a return visit. Thank you for the video.

You're welcome. They're definitely worth a second visit. 😊

Rabbie's Tours I will definitely be back up

Glad you love it, Stephanie! 😊

Interesting! Looking forward to making it back and hopefully doing a tour. Question, were the graves investigated? Ancient DNA is unlocking many mysteries. The ruins many have served different purposes at different times (just a thought).
