Re: Sighthill Park Stone Circle by Andy B on Thursday, 21 July 2016

Duncan Lunan writes: In April, contractors for Glasgow City Council went ahead with the demolition of the Sighthill stone circle, which I designed and built as Manager of the Glasgow Parks Department Astronomy Project in 1978-79. As promised, great care was taken with the removal of the stones and they all came out intact, and were buried near the intended site for re-erection. The topsoil was also removed and preserved, and those whose loved ones' ashes have been scattered at the original site have been promised that they will be replaced at the new one. The event was extensively covered by the media and on the City Council website, and a report by Gerry Cassidy is in the current issue of The Word on the Streets.

The time capsule was recovered from the foundation of the central stone; the lid came off, which wasn't unexpected given the problems we had with it at the time, but the real surprise was that the sealed packages inside were outwardly intact. They will be reburied unopened, with new additions, when the circle is regenerated. Contracts for the next phase are expected to be awarded before the end of the year, and discussions are ongoing.
