I've got a brilliant idea - let's put a stinking landfill site next to it! After that, we could strip-mine the neighbouring fields for the little stones under them. Bargain. Heeeey. Howsabout we turn the whole place into a *Theme Park*? MacThornboro anyone? |

(2006-02-21) | Apalling. Didnt somebody in "authority" once state that none of these terrible things going on nearby would have any impact on the site ? They'll be building a dirty great big road through it next. I dont think the French would even go so far as this ! | AngieLake
(2006-02-22) | How could they do this?! | hailstones
(2006-02-22) | It's scary! sOMEONE IS SELLING STONES FROM cALLANISH ON EBAY AS WELL | MickM
(2006-02-22) | Items such as this are in breach of ebay policies & should be reported to them, they seem to be getting better at removing them these days. In this case the items have either been illegally removed from a World Heritage Site or are fraudulent, most likely the latter. I have reported these to ebay & we'll see what happens. If others do the same it might push ebay into acting. | whatisthat
(2006-02-22) | Yes indeed, item number 5669477831 on eBay is a 'piece of stone' from Callanish. I await a response to the following complaint Ii have made to eBay:
Dear eBay,
The Callanish Stones are a scheduled monument. Removal of any artefacts from this protected ancient site is prohibited under law.
Please can you give me the seller's full name and address so I can report this theft to the authorities? | MickM
(2006-02-22) | There are in fact 2 separate listings, the other item number is 5668256395. | hailstones
(2006-02-22) | This person has been reported to ebay on tuesday | hailstones
(2006-02-22) | Sellers name is eeilidh8249. there are two items and don't know how many more have already been sold. Someone has reported to Inpector of monuments and Callanish visitors centre but i guess these things take time | hailstones
(2006-02-22) | misspelt name it's eilidh8249 | mickm
(2006-02-22) | Seller has already sold 2 other pieces. | mickm
(2006-02-25) | Some good news - one of the 2 items listed has now completely disappeared from ebay, hopefully the other will follow. | DavidRaven
(2006-03-05) | Er, I was joking when I suggested a theme park. The landowner has other ideas though; see comments here: http://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=1292629588#8959 |
