Absolutely incredible. It adds fuel to the theory of Orkney being such an important place in prehistoric Britain.

Definitely. Just mind-blowing to think of such a large stone being transported all that way across all sorts of terrains, makes the journey of the bluestones seem short by comparison.
Yeah saw that... thought it was Mr D claiming the Bluestones and wasn't having that!
What with all the excavation revelations about the great Ness of Bodgar apparently being ritually 'retired'/trashed it does make one wonder if this was a symbolic movement of power down south? Great that Scotland's got a piece of Stonehenge, too
Looking forward to Drew's campaign to rename it Stanehenge.
Was it given freely, or stolen by pesky southerners?
Stane for Scots, steen for Dorics (me), we'll have that recumbent stone back ;-)
