Sayard standing beside a large standing stone which is part of a larger circle called Nether Largie Stones.
It's amazing to think that these stones have been here for thousands of years.
This is Temple Wood where the earliest stones that lie in these circles date back to around 3000BC.
These standing stone circles were often used as a place to worship. There are still many questions as to what eactly would have been done here, but many people speculate that it was a kind of calendar. As you can see on this stone there seems to be an imprint of a sun, maybe this relates to a type of sky worship?
Here is a distant view of a large cairn (a type of burial chamber) which is to the left, with a view of Kilmartin further back. The cairn predates the village having been built in about 3000-2500BC. Old stuff is so cool!
