    Incredible video, eye scotland. Looking forward to seeing more content from you. I smashed that thumbs up button on your upload. Keep up the fantastic work! The history behind the Stone circles at Machrie Mooe is fascinating. What insights do you have about the possible cultural significance of these sites in relation to the Bronze Age rituals?

      At least they have a ferry. Unlike Westminster giving millions of £ in contracts to build ferries in England to tory politicians who have never built a ferry ever then delivered nothing.

      In history, Annan was the first township for people crossing the land border at Gretna (before Gretna existed!) and heading West. 7 miles from the land border but was often attacked and burned by troops crossing the Solway Firth at low tide from the Cumbrian coast. So - although not on the land border, the town is on the sea border between England and Scotland.
