This has nothing to do with stones, though I am sure you could find some in these films, not sure what word to use, perhaps surreal comes to mind. Hours of wandering through the 20th century landscape of being nonsensically 'British'.....
Enjoy or not!

I found this one about Orkney. (I went last year - best place I've ever visited).
Here's the blurb:

"Orkney evoked through poetry, the sounds of nature, and the music of Peter Maxwell Davies.

Poetry, natural sounds and vivid landscapes intertwine in this evocative portrait of composer Peter Maxwell Davies and his adopted home, Orkney. Throughout the film, Davies' often sparse, experimental music accompanies the majestic island landscapes, giving a sense of both their ancient beauty and their danger.

Davies worked across many styles of music, and the film includes extracts from Ave Maris Stella, O Magnum Mysterium and the final scene of his opera The Martyrdom of Saint Magnus. We also hear George Mackay Brown reading his own verse, as well as quotations from the works of Edwin Muir, Robert Rendell and the ancient Orkneyinga Saga."

These programmes from Scottish TV (1970s and 80s) are really interesting. Some, such as these two, feature standing stones.

Tom Weir doing for the Scottish islands what he did for the mainland. http://player.stv.tv/summary/weirs-aweigh/ ..also on Youtube.

Okay, suspend your disbelief, tie up your cynical tongues, 20 minutes of not very good film but still a joy to watch the energy (not a ley) line called St Mitchell that travels across England. Hamish Miller and Paul Broadhurst. In the end it is just one of the historys of our time.
