The Duirinish Stone was NOT erected thousands of years ago. Set in a concrete base, it stands approximately 5m high and was erected by hand. That is to say it was pulled up the hill and set in place by human power. See the ALT for more information…

A view from the ’Two Churches Walk.near Dunvegan. Healaval Mhor* is the flat topped hill in the distance.
* sometimes called MacLeod’s Table North

“The stone is a commanding viewpoint for Dunvegan village and miles around, but it is not a prehistoric monument. Instead, it was erected on midsummer's day 2000 by the villagers of Dunvegan, using only hand power and ropes. As the stone is fifteen feet high and weighs five tons, this was an impressive feat, and presumably used the same techniques as would have been used to build stone circles thousands of years ago.” I am pleased to be able to go up there every week for the view and the celebration.

A little bit of a mystery for #StandingStoneSunday

We had a sunny visit to see John Bell's Stone in the grounds of Castle Fraser, Aberdeenshire today. A tall standing stone said to be erected as a memorial in 1617. But is that just when the top was added to a prehistoric standing stone? Balgorkar stone circle is just 650m away and this stone really would not be out of place as a flanker there.

Tall standing stone in a field with a wooded fence surrounding it. The stone has a smaller stone added to the top. There was a ball stone on top of that but now long gone.

Revisiting the memorial stone of the ‘last woman burned as a witch’ in Scotland in film and archival photos. (‘Janet Horne’ probably never existed but her myth persists because there were so many like her whose lives and deaths went unrecorded.)#AshesAndStones #ScottishWitches #Scotland #ScottishHighlands #FolkHorror #FeministHorror #WomenInHorror #SheWill #JanetHorne #ModernAntiquarian #Witch

An antique photograph in grainy black and white of a rural location. A well dressed family of a woman and three children, two boys and a girl all stand in back of a weathered stone in the ground, a small boulder which is now called the 'Janet Horne' memorial stone. Legend has it this spot represents the location where the 'last witch' was killed in Scotland. A long stone building and piles of lumber are in the background.

La menhir de la Thiemblais, an impressively carved and decorated 8 metre long granite standing stone, which lies at a precarious 45 degree angle, and located east of St-Samson-sur-Rance, near Dinan in the Côtes-d'Armor département in northern Brittany.

There are a number of legends attached to this stone, one of which is that it’s one of three menhirs blocking the entrance to hell…

A huge (8 metre long) granite standing stone, leaning to the right at a rather precarious 45 degree angle. Faint carvings and decoration can be seen on the surface of the menhir. The stone is in a small clearing, and behind it are trees in leaf. Photograph taken by me, 2 September 2023.
