Part of the interest and magic for me of the sites around Callanish was knowing that the Gaelic names meant "hillock at the end of a wall" or "sheiling of the pinnacles".

So much better than using farm names or townlands of even Circle 278!

We don't speak gaelic either but we "borrowed" Moth's approach of personalising them.

Garry and Phillipa for II and III. V was an obvious Harry.

IV was less obvious but, perversely, it became known as Victor.
