If you think that area of Scotland is bad check out the entire SE of England, that's at least twice the area. There's a good stone circle distribution map in the first pages of the intro of Burl's "The Stone Circles", (a required text for stoneys, so you'll all have copy).
We've always wondered what the distribution of existing circles is telling us. We guess the SE probably had hods of circles, but intensive population for long periods removed them. NW Scotland however, cannot claim that particular blight and we may be seeing an area of virtually zero population when the circles were being built.
Short of the much lusted after time machine, we'd love a map showing all of the circles that were ever built in the UK. Mind you, that map might make painful viewing for folk with our interests......
