Isn't there another common myth attached to the Long Meg stone circle? Which is that they're impossible to count reliably.


Yes, that's a fairly common circle myth, Long Meg also has a standard "petrified women" myth as well. Less standard is the legend that Meg will bleed real blood if a piece is chipped off her, and even rarer, that violent storms and lightning will follow any attempt to disturb the stones.

A real pity that last one was not real, and true for all megalithic monuments!
