hobboy: Interesting site, megalithic stones inside a mound with holes in the ground around the mound. Looked to me like a flying saucer covered in grass
MegalithJunkie: Cairnpapple Hill is located at a point which allows you (on a clear day) to see right across the country from east to west, sea to sea. It's a wonderful place

by Anonymous on Saturday, 04 April 2009 | | We visited Cairnpapple Hill in the summer of 2007. Very friendly woman in a gift shop and ticket station at the top of the hill. Incredible views from the top of the hill! | [ Reply to This ]

Stone circle trot for charity man (Score: 1)
by coldrum on Sunday, 10 June 2007
(User Info | Send a Message) | An Edinburgh man is to run 260 miles in nine days between two stone circles in Lewis and West Lothian.
Ian Campbell, 41 , captain of the Hunters Bog Trotters, is to start the run on Saturday from Callinais stone circle to Cairnpapple near Bathgate.
The athlete, who is running for Leukaemia Research, will first complete the Stornoway Half marathon beforehand.
He said: "Running between my two favourite stone circles has always been an ambition of mine."
Leukaemia Research was established in 1960 and is still the only national research charity devoted exclusively to leukaemia and the related blood disorders in both children and adults.
Donations will support doctors and scientists at hospitals and academic institutions throughout the country and a wide range of projects, from basic laboratory research to clinical trials with patients.

by Anonymous on Tuesday, 16 May 2006 | | It is the only place I have ever visited where I felt spiritual (and I am not religious). I could feel something there that I cannot describe. There was just such a feeling of happiness and peace and love. Despite others trampling around looking bored, I felt drawn to the earth, even before finding out it was a spot of activity for so long that may have included religious activity. | [ Reply to This ]

'Tis an amazing place and so few know of it.

(User Info | Send a Message) | Gus and I had a wander round here back in late May. The concrete dome covering the tombs is pretty eery inside, it was a cold, blustery day outside. A bit strange too - some numpty had left a small lithium battery on top of one of the stones. It was deposited in the bin at the information hut as we left....
The tombs are quite impressive, I've added a couple of photographs of them. | [ Reply to This ]
