Piper's Crag Stone submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Mar 2005. After visiting the Swastika Stone, we visited a well cup marked stone.
Here Rich32 is in another elbow raising ritual, Cassie waits for David to throw his camera for her to fetch, Jeremy awaits transportation to the nearest excarnation platform, and Marion finds it all too much, and turns her back on it.

Horncliffe Circle
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: England (Yorkshire (West))
Visited: Yes on 28th Mar 2005
Horncliffe Circle submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Mar 2005. When visiting the Horncliffe Circle, we disturbed an archaeologist doing some solitary surveying for Bradford Uni, and gave us a very helpful impromptu lecture. He is to the right of the circle, with Rich32, Baz, and Eileen.
He said he'd spied us earlier on some distance away at the Skirtful of Stones and thought "what's on here?" !

Hexentanzplatz (Thale)
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: Germany (Saxony-Anhalt)
Visited: Yes on 28th Feb 2007
Hexentanzplatz (Thale) submitted by TimPrevett on 28th Feb 2007. The Diabolical President atop the modern stone circle of Hexentanzplatz. The devilish figures are to mark the site's connection to Walpurgisnacht - May Day Eve - when diabolical deeds and rites were allegedly done. The very name means "Witches' Dancing Place". Now it is a tourist magnet, with spectacular views, a wondrous cable car journey as one of the means to reach the top (this is in the Harz Mountains), and no end of tat pertaining to Witches, Devils, Ghosts and Demons.

Raigmore
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Clava Cairn
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 7th Oct 2006
Raigmore submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Oct 2006. My tripod was still packed, and I had the narrowest window of opportunity to visit this as the daylight faded on a dark, wet evening. Though relocated, this cairn is still impressive in itself, but I suspect some stones have been moved out from their positions. Taller stones (about 4 foot high), decreasing in stature around to the opposite side. This gives some idea of the cairn's contemporary context, with the large industrial estate to its east.

Balnuaran of Clava Kerb Cairn
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 15th Oct 2006
Balnuaran of Clava Kerb Cairn submitted by TimPrevett on 15th Oct 2006. When visiting this site, if you bear in mind that the Victorians presented this site in accordance with their interpretation, you'll understand why the trees dominate. They believed the tombs here were Druid temples, and so they planted the area with Beech in the 1870s to reflect their notion of it as a Druidic Grove.

National Museum of Scotland
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Museum
Country: Scotland (Midlothian)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Feb 2009
National Museum of Scotland submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Feb 2009. The entrance to the National Museum of Scotland; I only had 40 minutes to zoom around here before closing (having been distracted by the fantastic Greyfriars Churchyard opposite). What I saw was very good, and very family friendly. Edinburgh is one of the most amazing cities I have been to, so a return visit will be in order sometime!

The Dasses
Date Added: 4th Jan 2025
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Scotland (Midlothian)
Visited: Saw from a distance on 4th Aug 2024. My rating: Condition 1 Ambience 4 Access 3
The Dasses submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Jan 2025. Six possible hut circles in this area, see person to the right for scale. The OS map denotes hut circles but the Canmore record becomes increasingly unsure as to their prehistoric origin. Can be seen looking north from Arthur’s Seat.

Cuween Hill
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jun 2006
Cuween Hill submitted by TimPrevett on 21st Jun 2006. This was the best feeling tomb on Orkney for me; darkness. No modern skylights. The solitude, and darkness are quite creepy, but it is superb. A very low crawl indeed, and investigating the four smaller chambers is a must. Best shots were without a flash, and I rather liked this self portrait just near the entrance. Summed up the feeling of this tomb, which some have called "The Tomb of the Beagles" due to the quanity of dog bones found here.

Taversoe Tuick
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 21st Jun 2006
Taversoe Tuick submitted by TimPrevett on 21st Jun 2006. This two tier tomb was my other Orcadian favourite; visited about 10pm, the light level was still pretty good; a quick dash down the ladder with camera on timer to give a little more sense of scale to the monument. This is a site to spend time at; lends itself very well to a little mellow reflection.
