Standing Stones at Nether Largie, Kilmartin Glen, Argyll, Scotland,
Possibly built as a lunar observatory, if that is what it is it was built about 3,200 years ago.

Nice find and photo Carol. Yes there are many of these to be found all over Europe and even Asia (Hong Kong). Many have trkied to explain them, many early peoples have been attributed as being the builders.
Are they Astronomical or Relgious? Two types have also been found in Australia obviously made by Australian Natives and some still use them.

Nice shot,Carol.
Doug said he is amazed 'how such objects survive the passage of time ...'
I think it's incredible that any have survived at all!
Many were pulled down because deemed barbarous (similar reasoning used by the Taliban and Islamic State today). Many others were removed for use in road construction and for other building work, and many more were simply shunted to the side of fields to be used in walls and to free up the farmland for sowing and ploughing crops.

Thank you very much Erich. Really appreciated. I find standing stones really fascinating, particularly when you can get right up close to them. Have a good evening
