      Interesting you mentioned the different views of the lady from the different sites. There might be reason for that, tied up with the stars and the Moon also

    Lovely site and you got a lovely day to visit.
    There is quite a lot of houses and infrastructure in the vicinity, I somehow imagined the complex being much further away from such things .
    That's what they call progress I suppose....
    Thanks for sharing Martin.👍🍀

      Hi CC, the weather was awesome during my visit over autumn equinox in September 2024. There is a small village at Callanish and the Island is more populated than what I thought, the same goes for Orkney as well. I hope you enjoyed the film, more Callanish videos coming in the months ahead, Martin.

      Once again, thank you for your kind words, I am glad you enjoyed the film. The weather was excellent when I was at Calanish over the autumn equinox, it was better than the summer months. More Callanish videos coming soon.....

      @BeforeCaledonia it tends to be that way - nice in May, rubbish summer, nice again September/October. I look forward to seeing them.

    Another beautiful video, hard to pick a favourite Callanais site as the whole complex together is so intriguing. Have you seen Howard Crowhurst yt channel on the incredible geometry found in Megalithic sites. Sadly most of his work focuses on the Carnac area where he lives and south England, and some very interesting sites in the States. I bet the same geometry exists in the Scottish sites, as he was also inspired by the work of Alexander Thom and has found Megalithic mile measurements in American mound complexes and metres in French and other sites! I bet all the Callanais sites would fit his geometric patterns! Thanks for your amazing work 👍😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

      Thank you for your kind words. I have heard Howard Crowhurst speak at the Megalithomania conference a few times, his new documentary is excellent. I have a few of Howard's great books on the Carnac area, I hope to visit Brittany one day. Thanks for leaving a comment which helps the channel, Martin.

    Home sick for the home I've not yet been to. Both of my grandmothers were of Scottish descent. And I end up with a Saxon surname. HA! Go figure.
