There are many special places on the Earth where you can feel connected to the planet, whatever your beliefs. The ancient people understood the rhythms of the natural world and the energy grid (ley lines) and marked these sacred places with stones, mounds, barrows etc. Undoubtedly the most famous site of this kind in Britain is Stonehenge, in Wiltshire with it's enormous stones and incredible energies. It has been turned into somewhat of a tourist resort of late, complete with shop, café, high entrance fees and no access to go right up to the stones.

 We are lucky to stay in the North East of Scotland where stone circles abound. They are healing places to visit and fantastic for meditations - and of course picnics! To see pictures visit Parkhouse stone circle, more Daviot images , or White Cow Wood cairn
