MACHRIE MOOR

Burl Ives? No seriously thanks for help, actually it's me first stone circle ever apart from flashing by stonehenge in a motor as a kid and on way to a wedding a few yrs back (and Step-git wouldnt stop car)...So i'm a stone virgin....Just sit up on Lewes Mound every now and then, and only Rodney Castleden seems to think that's a mini-Silbury (by ratio,angle and scale) and not just some 'modern' construct....Which reminds me, wonder if i can catch the christians, this easter, sticking their cross in the mound to 'ward off evil and unclean gods' - or whatever they think they're doing...Cheers!

Machrie's a good place to lose yer 'cherry'!!!! If it doesn't turn you into a fully-fledged megalithomaniac, there's gotta be summat wrong with you!!!

I'd recommend all the other Arran sites on here too, esp Torrylin - nice remains and a beautiful setting and the Giant's Graves - wrecked but wonderful site with stunning views glimpsed thru the trees on the way! A bugger of a climb tho!

Have fun

love

PS Good luck with the chr*stian policing @ Lewes Mound!
