    The Ancient circles are based on the Ancient Solar configuration that fell apart when Saturn went Supernova, the circles represent Planets by size, Saturn the Black Sun, Venus the light bearer and Mars as the Pupil of this 'Eye-like' perception, erm, google, 'winged disk of antiquity', thats Saturns Atmosphere ramping up, it manifested a plasmatic torus field that destroyed the Ancient World, the Earthlings documented it before the Cataclysm effected our World, didn't know about this site in Sighthill, cheers,

    Thanks for posting this. I live in the village and I often go to the stones. I didn't know about the ley line (presuming that is what the dragon current is). I think that some of the Girdle Stanes were lost as rivers can change course significantly over thousands of years and during catastrophes such as floods they can change overnight. Also there are some very large stones in the river near Girdle Stanes which I would guess are from the original circle, although I'm also open to it not being a full circle. Loupin stanes may have had another circle around it as there are some recumbent stones outside the main circle. I wondered if the 'avenue' of stones between the two circles are actually markers. What if they mark the dragon line? Or are their positions related to stars?

    Personally, I believe these sites had mystical/magical properties, especially when you consider their proximity to ley lines. I am no expert, but their proximity to water, and the likelihood of underground water sources/lakes combined with electromagnetic qualities of standing stones and water must produce some effect (a thing which was more noticeable in less technologically advanced times?). I can't help but think that their alteration/near destruction in modern times is a deliberate, systematic act to hide their true purpose. 'Rebuilding' sites, particularly in Ireland, is a travesty IMHO. Thankyou for this detailed video. New sub here 👍🌻

    Breaks my heart that these earthworks are not and were not protected against stone robbers and road builders, and how about taking the trees out, taking it back to what it looked like eons ago. They were obviously something quite important when built and who knows, will be important in some way in the future?

I lived at 95 Tummel Road so the henge was opposite the rear of our house. I may also add, I found an old Irish shillelagh next to the henge that I kept for years.

    I believe the the stones were placed in the ground to tune into the earths electromagnetic fields and listen to what they believed were there ancestors.. The earth is a big ball of electricity . It was the metal ore content of these stones which was most important .These people understood the basic truth that they were the earth and not something just living on it. They knew how to listen to there minds and understood how to achieve greater clarity of thought at certain times of the year and commune with the ancestor spirit. The stones enabled them to achieve this greater clarity of thought. You only need 2 stones in alignment to mark the equinox or solstice not a full circle. Snakes and Serpents featured so much in there stories because this was the earth telling them that for 95% of its past it was a reptile, mammals are only a very new species. Fire being our earliest ancestor.

    The Camus Stane was a separate monolith that stood to the north. Just to the south were the 'Cat Heaps' two massive cairns that were plundered for road material. Apparently in the gardens of houses to the south lie the bases of these cairns. When the road was being constructed in the 18th century, burials were found extending for a mile, in cists and in rock-cut graves. Weapons of bronze and Iron were found, although where they are now, I have no idea. Mounds yielding burials have been found over the ground as far as Mortonhall, where the famous scabbard was found. A scatter of Roman coins was found during the construction of Frogstone Road. This is one of the largest prehistoric "cemeteries" found in Scotland, but has never been properly investigated!!

      PS. Our ancestors always assumed Prehistoric cemeteries were from a battle, but this was from a cemetery that was in use for centuries, possibly from Neolithic to Early Christian times. The Old Gaelic word for battle was "cat" or "caiy" hence the names for the stones.

    Great video thanks! I'd love to observe Southern Major Lunar Standstill moonrise from the northern stone of this row looking along the row to the next stone(s) to the south. A marker/lights might need to be positioned to show the stone locations. I found this alignment possibility on the stonesofwonder website, a valuable resource.

    I Googled standing stones in Edinburgh years ago a website had a few dotted around Edinburgh. The pub at Longstone has a standing stone on the picture on the front. Longstone inn ? Newbridge roundabout across from McDonald's there is an old burial ground mound which was created after the ring of standing stones still there today is in a little park. But as you drive towards the roundabout heading out of Edinburgh on your left 5 meters from the road up against incorporated in the grounds of an office building is a massive megalithic stone that once was an outer circle of stones of what still stand today. It is ginormous ! Strange people were doing this all over Britain from orkneys to stonehenge to globeki teki. They had to be calendars

    Thanks Martin. I live ‘amongst’ these stanes and they are very important to me . I’m up at Oxgangs very near the Caiystane and the Buckstane and Morningside is just doon the hill. I’ve known these all my life. But I never knew about the face! 😂. So thanks!🤗

      @@BeforeCaledonia Aye - both great in their own ways. I always think Huly is like a mini Newgrange. It’s a shame they moved the outlier in the industrial estate over the road. Ravenswood is perhaps the most surprising and least kent! Sitting below Craigmillar I think it’s likely there was a connection. Be aware also of Bridgend just doon the road which was the hunting lodge of James V - obviously not ‘Before’ Caledonia but indicative of a sacred landscape in a similar way to Falkland and the Lomonds etc.🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    I think like my 15th or 16th great grandpa died in the Battle of Flodden Hill. His name was James Henderson. It wasn't until recently i found out why the Bagpipes are played at the funeral of every fallen Officer, here in the United States.... And i was told it's because James Henderson and his family were the Pipers, Chanters, and King James IV own personal Guardians. My dad, Larry Wayne Henderson oddly enough was known to John Gotti and others in Federal Prison here in the United States, as "The Guardian". He also befriended all surviving males of the Branch Davidian compound raid in Waco, Texas. They too..called my dad The Guardian. Must be one of those Blood thicker than water things, he taught me about.
