      Some of the Brodick rock art is very unusual.

    Very enjoyable video, thanks for posting. I remember as a 16 year old (a fair while ago) heading out with a mate to find the ‘Brodick Rock Art’ or Cup and Ring marked rock as it was on my OS maps. Spent a bit of time there on one of those rare perfect summer evening where time seemed to stand still. Brought back great memories. Especially when my mate nearly stood on an Adder 😂.

    I’m on Arran now and going to visit the sites at Machrie
    I visited the stone circles at lamlash yesterday and had a very healing experience. My ancestors have told me previously that they were Irish Druids. Regarding the nature of the stone circles. I don’t know what their function was I feel they had many functions.
    For sure they were placed at sites that our ancestors knew were high energy points on the earth. As a result of their location I’m sure there were ceremonial aspects to their purpose.
    I personally feel that these stones were encoded with healing frequencies and I felt that yesterday. The message that I received whilst touching these stones yesterday was to be at peace with myself.
    Thanks for your time and care to make these videos I really appreciate it

      Hi, that is great you are on Arran visiting the ancient sites, there is lots to see. I really like the Lamlash stone circle, I have been a few times and think it is connected to Goatfell and the Holy Isle. I am glad the videos have been helpfully to you. I hope to return to Machrie Moor in the summer and make better films, enjoy your trip, Martin.

      I used to see the Isle of Arran every day from my hometown on the Ayrshire coast, it is especially beautiful in the winter when it is sprinkled in snow.

      To my knowledge, the only rock art on Arran is the Brodick site. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

    Thanks for your video, I've been coming to Arran for a good few years and had no idea that Brodick rock art existed. Coming over later this week, so it's definitely on the list to find!

    Ailsa Craig = Fairy Rock. Why?
    This my opinion and it's based on no academic study whatsoever, only observation. From Arran and indeed from the Ayrshire coast Ailsa Craig appears almost symmetrical, not 100% but near enough. Also the rock appears to plunge straight into the sea giving the impression that there is no beach or landing place, making the rock appear inaccessible. Combine these factors and you have somewhere people can see but not visit. A perfect place for fairies to live if the culture believed, at some level, in the supernatural.
    As I said, based on nothing, but posted because the UA-cam algorithm likes comments, so don't be too harsh if I'm 100% wrong. I watch these videos not because I know about this stuff, but because I don't.

    • @BeforeCaledonia

      Ailsa Craig changes shape depending on where you are on the Ayrshire coast. There is a shore and landing place on The Craig, I have been on it a few times and climbed to the very top.
