We could have stayed here, but it had an old and hostile resident….
Here he is…
Of course, this was the real holiday house
The stones
Machrie Moor Stone Circles is the collective name for six stone circles visible near the settlement of Machrie (and even better in the field behind the house we stayed in!)
Some of the stones are even older (and taller) than us
The geology
As a well known Geologist (in background) explains….”Hutton’s Unconformity is a name given to various notable geological sites in Scotland identified by the 18th-century Scottish geologist James Hutton as places where the junction between two types of rock formations can be seen. This geological phenomenon marks the location where rock formations created at different times and by different forces adjoin”.

IN BACKGROUND- It appears that not everyone is fully “engaged” in the map reading discussions….
