@thesweetcheat One of five sites in this area of #Strathspey in the #Cairngorms thought to be Clava Cairns #StandingStoneSunday

Pitchroy is one of several monuments near the confluence of #RiverSpey & Avon. Two stones remain of a circle thought by some to have once been a Clava Cairn #StandingStoneSunday. More from @megalithic here https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=10147

Standing stone in a newly-harvested field. It is thought to be a boundary stone associated with a nearby rath. (Portrait view)

It's said, back in 1850's, against advice, the landowner removed Auchorachan in #Glenlivet ... returning it when his cattle started mysteriously dying #StandingStoneSunday ...Story here https://scotchwhisky.com/magazine/whisky-heroes/7389/whisky-heroes-captain-grant/

Le menhir de la Thiemblais just outside the town of St-Samson-sur-Rance in Ille-et-Villaine in Brittany. It has relief carvings all over it, although they’re quite difficult to see except in certain lights. In my fourth picture, you can just make out a carving of a looped cross. It’s a very impressive stone weighing around 150 tonnes and at around 8 metres in length—despite the 45 degree angle!

Callanish 4 stone circle (Ceann Hulavig), 5 big stones left, up a hill from the road to Callanish, Callanish 1, 2, and 3 circles (posted last 3 Sundays) are not visible from this one, I would guess it's about 2 miles away. This ground was very boggy and I sank to my knees in the circle! #StandingStoneSunday #PreHistory #Callanish #Scotland #Lewis

Carrowkeel megalithic cemetery

This cluster of passage tombs in south County #Sligo, #Ireland was built in the 4th millennium b. Chr, during the #Neolithic era. The monuments are on the Brickleave Hills (An Bricshliabh, 'the speckled hills'), overlooking Lough Arrow.
The Carrowkeel tombs are considered one of the "big four" passage tomb cemeteries in Ireland, along with Carrowmore, Brú na Boínne and Loughcrew.

The churchyard cross in Aberlermo in #Angus is a wonderful example of Pictish art. There are other fine examples the village. #StandingStoneSunday

The magnificent Calanais Stones, Isle of Lewis.

These paired stones within the Komakino stone circle in Aomori prefecture, Japan, mark the midsummer sunrise seen from the centre of the circle. The circle was constructed on an artificially levelled plateau by the #Jomon culture, circa 2,000-1,500 BCE. #StandingStoneSunday #Aomori #Jomon #Japan

Have totally forgotten #StandingStoneSunday for ages... must get back to Callanish for a wee pilgrimage sometime.

Callanish 3 stone circle, just 2 fields from Callanish 2. Lots more stones here than Callanish 2 that I posted last week. Again, not far from Callanish 1 the main site that is visible from these. #StandingStoneSunday #PreHistory #Callanish #Scotland

The #Externsteine are part of the mountain chain of the #TeutoburgForest in #Germany, which is mainly made up of sandstone. In the course of mountain formation around 70 million years ago, the originally flat sandstone in the area of ​​the mountain range was pressed vertically. This monumental group of rocks raises many questions to this day.

I need to go and visit some more standing stones. Was looking through photos for #StandingStoneSunday but I can't find any new ones to play with, which just isn't acceptable. This is my favourite.
