Ring of Brogar

The Ring of Brogar was our next stop on the islands. It is a Neolithic stone ring. The effort to quarry, then drag these huge granite stones for miles, stand them and align them in an almost perfect circle astounds me. Some of the stones are missing but less than a quarter. Some have been struck by lightning. I was just struck by the power and symbolism that it must have generated for the ancient people who lived here so long ago.
