And also the isle of Lewis footage shows Callanish; sorry haven't sussed out links yet.
Thanks Moss for this; I've been watching footage from Blackburn, Lancashire, of the church parades, & mill workers leaving the factory, & I've convinced myself that I've glimpsed my great grandmothers face in one of the parades! Silly moo.

Tried it, god Stonehenge was in a ruined state ;). Also tried Carol's Isle of Lewis one with Callanish at the end; somehow grainy black and white intensifies the old stones with character.
