Dreaming Stones: Sleepers…
After our second night sleeping in the cavernous car, we woke to a pale, opalescent sky over the stones of Callanish. Considering how many decades we had wanted to visit the site, it was a wonderful way to wake. It … Continue reading

Dreaming Stones: A Room with a View…
We might have been able to find a room in Stornoway, had we looked, but it had never entered our heads when we went there to pump up the tyre. After spending the previous night sleeping in the car, and … Continue reading
Dreaming Stones: An Unexpected Hobbit-House
If you didn’t know the house was there, you would miss it… and we only knew it was there because of a helpful sign. Not just a house, but a small village. Only one of the houses is complete and … Continue reading

Dreaming Stones: Missed and Found…

Dreaming Stones: Caught in the Middle…

Dreaming Stones: Line of Sight
The stones of Callanish were still busy. We were going to need supplies… and still needed to refuel the car and pump up the dratted tyre yet again. We thought it was time to leave the stones behind and drive … Continue reading
Dreaming Stones: Second Sight…
We had returned to the stones of Callanish for a second attempt at getting the feel of a place of which we had a little knowledge but no real understanding. Facts are not enough, you have to walk the land … Continue reading
Dreaming Stones: Invisibility and Other Weirdness…
Just beyond the standing stones of Callanish is a small hillock of boulders and green earth. It was here we sat, partly to contemplate the enormity of the site before us… a place we had both long wanted to visit … Continue reading
