Do you think the ancient people seen 'Sleeping Beauty' as pregnant from this location? Comment below.

Loved Achmore energy.Found it just before we left the island last visit & was so glad we managed to locate it.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

It's an important site in the Callanish complex. I have been lucky enough to have visited Achmore three times. Thanks for leaving a comment, I hope you enjoyed the film.

[@aidanmacdougall9250]

Loved the video, Callanais has so much to give. Loved the 'pregnant' sleeping beauty, reminded me of the sleeping giant at lochgoilhead where people wonder whether it's a sword or an appendage on him! 😊

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed the film. I have never heard of the sleeping giant at Lochgoilhead, there seems to be quite a few recumbent giants laying around Scotland.

Thanks for covering this lesser known iteration of the Callanish Stones. I was lucky enough to be working in Lewis in 2013 and was very impressed with this site and its awesome expansive vistas over the island and across the sea to the West. I visited here on several occasions. Your video captures the beauty of the area on what looks like a fabulous day. The video also brings to mind the question of whether raising and restoring the stones of sites such as this should be considered.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Thanks for your kind words on my video, I am glad you enjoyed it. There was no doubt astronomical observations were taking place from Achmore circle by the ancient people. The weather was awesome when I was at Callanish for autumn equinox 2024, it was beyond my expectations. I have many more Callanish films coming in the next few months. Thanks for leaving a comment which helps the channel.

[@leeblunt9135]

Look like the area has so much to offer. I love remote sites like this. Thanks for sharing.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Hi Lee, there is lots going on at the Callanish area, this is the first in a new series of films from the Callanish complex. Thanks for leaving a comment, it helps the channel, Martin.

[@scotlandshistory]

Fascinating as always. The whole landscape at Callanis must've looked magnificent in its day, and it's good we're still finding more of its history. Thanks for this.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Thanking you! This is the first in a new series of films on the Callanish complex.

[@scotlandshistory]

@@BeforeCaledonia I look forward to seeing them.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

@@scotlandshistory Callanish II, III, IV, VIII and the main Callanish site all coming over the next months...

[@alisonarmstrong8421]

[@BeforeCaledonia]

[@aidanmacdougall9250]

Brilliant, can't wait. Love your videos. 👍😊

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Thank you, let me know what you think of the video.

[@EarthMagicBrno]

Interesting to see you finding stone designs like here in Czechia...

[@BeforeCaledonia]

There is another stone design in my latest film on Huly Hill.

[@h.bsfaithfulservant4136]

Very interesting. Thanking you.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for leaving a comment.

[@malcolmmacqueen2340]

I missed a lot of these sites when travelling years ago. Scotland needs more visitor information centres to explain the wider landscape and its history - like Kilmartin

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Hello Malcolm, Callanish is getting a new visitor centre this year, hopefully there will be more information on the minor or satellite stone circles around the Callanish environs. Achmore circle is not well known, it's signposted but I don't think anybody notices it.

[@mgtowcomment1367]

Richard & Cummings Stone Circles A Field Guide says Achmore was exposed by gradual 20th century peat cutting. It was about 41 meters wide originally. The monoliths were not properly set in dug sockets, but held up by surrounding unstable rocks along their bases.

[@BeforeCaledonia]

I have never heard of that book, thanks for the info. I hope you enjoyed the film.

[@kennethmacleod-g9c]

i have the missing stones in my garden they were used as a chimney breast and lintels in the house i knocked down before i built my own.my neighbour told me a lot of these stones were BURNT by fire and draged down the hill with horses" "burnt to reduce them in size".

[@BeforeCaledonia]

Thanks for the information, that is very interesting. I hope you enjoyed the film. I have more Callanish videos on the way.

[@The-R-Evolution]

I lean toward a different explanation of the “sleeping beauty”. It’s quite windy up in Lewis in the winter and she put on a bit of a pot belly whilst having a few pints indoors waiting for the winds to calm down. Besides, when you’re going to have a wee bairn you’d be more comfortable sleeping on your side. 😉

[@BeforeCaledonia]

That's a good theory, I hope you enjoyed the video. Thanks for leaving a comment which helps the channel.

[@michellejohnson3867]

Where are the pictures of the actual stones then? I didnt see any standing stones at all. Disappointing video 😢

[@BeforeCaledonia]

There is only one stone still standing, all the others have fallen, I have included footage of the fallen stones in the video.
