is a large circle 41m in diameter with 33 stones, only two of which remain upright. From here the hills of the Cailleach no Mointeach or Sleeping Beauty resemble a pregnant woman and it seems possible the circle was sited here for this reason."

Bruce Adams, one of our members since 2012, sadly died last month - he had motor neurone disease. Bruce wrote: "Over the years I have assembled albums recording my visits to stone circles and related sites. I would very much like to pass these on to someone who will appreciate them. I am not asking for payment and only have a desire to see them go to a good home. I would rather not see them broken up and dispersed."

I am currently looking after Bruce's albums and will be sharing some of the contents over the coming weeks. There are twelve albums of various sizes, consisting of photographs alongside laminated sketches, drawings and rubbings.

I'd like to see them appreciated more widely so I'm looking for someone who would could help with scanning / photographing and sharing them online. Would you like these albums and can you help?

I have scanned in the first album and you can download the results here as a PDF. (choice of high quality or original size - click on the ... to Download) https://mega.nz/folder/LFZWnT6C#VqDrQYscVIS00VO81Yi3xg
