There's also similar activities going on beside the Cairn O'Mount cairn in Aberdeenshire; I seen a bit in Ireland, too. Any thoughts? Is this a genuine continuation of ancient beliefs, or just an admission that monotheistic religion has failed certain groups of people? http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/img_fullsize/108571.jpg Great shot Gladman and very moving as you say especially once amongst it I would imagine. Is the area very populated at present as much of it would be from the distant past I suppose and mainly revisited by both the continuation of ancient beliefs as you say, and possibly in homage to our great ancestors and also more recent departures close to a bereft persons heart.
