The Twelve Apostles of Hollywood Stone Circle View all content for The Twelve Apostles of Hollywood

Visited 28.7.13 Is it really a whole year since I last visited? – time certainly flies the older you get! This time we parked at the top of the field on the grass verge with an information panel attached to a large boulder. ‘The largest stone circle in Scotland’ the sign proudly states – and quite right too. Anyway, a quieter visit than last time – no cows to be seen so I had the place to myself. The weather was glorious with hot sunshine and white fluffy clouds. The grass was long but dry. I did the customary walk around the stones. Is it me or does everyone walks around a stone circle on the outside and usually in an anti-clockwise direction? Just a thought. It is funny how when you re-visit a site you often see it in a different light. No doubt due to your memory playing tricks on you plus the mood you were in and the weather etc. The circle was bigger than I remembered and the site much more impressive. It goes without saying that this is a ‘must see’ site when in the area and on a day like today it is a very good place to be.

Outside and anti-clockwise for me too. Remember walking round this one like that. Noticed most people walked anti-clockwise round Ring of Brodgar recently as well.	Posted by thelonious 7th August 2013ce
