Hi
Great site. I enjoy reading and viewing the images of the trips you take.
I am at present slowly making my way around the Ulster Way. There's a lovely stone on Ballygilbert Hill looking out to Ailsa Craig I visited last week. I've put a picture up on my blog -http://volsung.blogspot.com.
Thanks for inspiring me to visit these places.

Although my name is lithuanian I am also a Kirk from Scotland. Now somehow I have always been drawn to rock and have erected my share of standing stones around the world.

Now this link is to stones that I found in the adjacent forest to a golden rock standing stone park I nmade one summer in val morin, Quebec.

At first I was drawn to erecting stone scuptures with raw stone then later searched the forest and found these rock faces in the stone.

I have enjoyed this site greatly and hope we can all meet in England someday.Also see my new film called. "Faces of Myth" mimetoliths on Crete.

From an early age I have had my head buried in books on
stone formations tombs Ogham stones,much to the annoyance
of anyone that has gone a drive with me,as I am always scanning the fields.Recently acquired a gps unit. Ah,
God bless modern technology,I can now log a site and visit it again. But this website is way ahead of anything out there,give yourself a good hard slap on the back.
I am studying for a diploma in Galway NUIG on Archaeology and at the moment and it is all about the History of it etc,but this site is great,it has broken the back on next years field research. I hope it gets more people out there to see the ancient site in Ireland.

Hello Tom

Any news on your book?

Gary

Absolutely loved your site,great layout,and so nice to see the old round towers after all these years

Thank You for such a wonderful site! I visited several of the sites you have listed this past July 2004 and have some great pictures of my own. I wish I had known about this site BEFORE my trip...will be using it as a reference when I return.

Thanks for such a well-made, easily navigable, and comprehensive web site!

Have you ever considered that these Megaliths were actually built by ancient man for the purposes of Astronomy and Geodetics, as a means of marking certain star clusters onto the landscape. Some of these ancient sites go back to 3117BC and even outdate the pyramids of Egypt.

Last fall a friend and I spent two weeks in Wales and used the information provided by CADW to find all the historical locations we wished to vist. I have spent time looking for such a resource in Ireland and your website is the answer. Thank you so much for sharing your love of historic Ireland. I look forward to planning my next trip to Ireland around many of the our of the way places you have desgcribed so well. Thanks Julie B

The Danish and Swedish drinking toast (skal) has a rather macabre background; it originally meant 'skull'. The word has come down from a custom practiced by the warlike and terrorist Vikings who used the dried-out skulls of their enemies as drinking mugs, with the evident advantage that the mug held a large quantity of mead and could be easily replaced.

The Danish and Swedish governments have the nationalistic ideology called Nordism

which teaches the Danes and Swedes to hate Finnish language and its speakers, ordinary Finns.

- Hate crimes to come by those two (EU member state) governments?
