    Amazing pictures! If there's one place I want to visit it's Scotland, to see things like that. We made it to London for our honeymoon, but didn't have the time, nor the financing to make it up to Scotland. Sometime.... sometime...

    W O W !

    I don't think we in the states can even fathom the feeling of that type of History. To stand and look at the work of man and have to measure it not in decades, nor centuries, but Millennia. That is awesome.

    Thanks for sharing the great photos.

    Cheers

    I wonder if those huge stones were the precursors to the Caber toss, when they realised that tree were much easier to throw than those huge rocks?
