  • Sighthill Stone Circle
    Come to north inner city Glasgow where we visit a stone circle with its creator. Duncan Lunan designed Sighthill Stone Circle in the 1970s along still-controversial astro-archaeological lines, making it the first new astrologically-aligned stone circle in Scotland in 3,500 year. Can we learn about the motivations for neolithic sites by talking to site caretor Duncan? Glasgow University's Kenny Brophy lends a hand with interpretation of this unique place. Hosted on Acast.

  • Cairnpapple Hill
    Come to the crest of a hill at the very heart of Scotland where you can see islands off the west and east coasts of the country, to a place that was sacred for over 4,000 years. Try to decode the mysteries of how neolithic material was re-used by later people at this very complicated site and pick a side in the long-running debate: was the circle here timber or stone?

    We travel to the source of the beautiful, highly-prized stone found across neolithic sites in Britain and Ireland, Arran. At the stunning complex of seemingly endless stone circles at Machrie Moor we uncover its use as a site of pilgrimages, and investigate the timber monuments that were here before the stones.

  • The Ring of Brodgar
    We learn about the unusual construction methods that might have been used at Scotland's biggest stone circle, the Ring of Brodgar on Orkney, and witness a little bit of showbiz sleight of hand in how the imposing monument was designed. With Jane Downes, Director of the Archaeology Institute at the University of the Highlands and Islands. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
