Blue stones... why? Why the f*** were blue stones taken there?
To be fair, blue *is* a nice colour.
Because Lawrence Lewellyn neanderthal said "What this place needs is a splash of blue!" How about the Other stones besides Bluestone or sarcen? Where did they come from and Why? PeteG
You might as well ask "Why Stonehenge at all?" as ask about the colour...
It may have had something to do with woad.
