OFF: Stone Circles

[Neil Shilladay]

I'd definitly recommend a visit to Callanish - a truly wonderful place,
especially if you go around the time of the summer solstice, where there is
much dancing, singing etc. The locals, somewhat bemused by travelles coming
to the stones just for this event, are game & join in the fun. (At least
they did back in the early 90s when I was there).
Look out for the reclining lady in the landscape, (go there and you'll see
what I mean).

I'd also recommend Julian Cope's excellent book 'The Modern Antiquarian'
for a good overview of many circles in mainland Britain. Has a good
gazateer aswell as a whole chapter on Callanish.

Cheers
Neil.
