Having just returned from Stornoway I thought it was worthwhile to let you know that there have been some new 'discoveries' re: Callanish this year.
Largely thanks (again) to Margaret Curtis who is still working so hard and who never gives up exploring. I had a wonderful time with her. She's such an interesting character.
(BTW Julian if you're reading this , I know that Margaret would appreciate it if you got in touch with her, she's very lonely since Ron died last year, but she carries on the work regardless!)
If you're interested in the latest on Callanish then check out Margeret's most recent booklet "Stones, Moon and Sacred Landscape - Extrapolation (January 2009)"
The 'discovery' is the strong connection between hornblendes (circular markings on the stones) and key lunar observation points - it's so interesting.

Sadly Julian has no input here, thanks for the update though.

Many thanks for the update - will try to get hold of the latest publication! Very sorry to hear that Margaret's lonely (not surprising I guess).

Over the years I've been using the website we've always been told that Julian doesn't really look at the site. But the webmaster - Holy McGrail - is in his band & as far as I know in regular contact with him, so I'd guess he is likely to mention it to Julian.

love
