Callanis stones.... Winter Solstice.

Great video, thanks. THE STONES OF CALLANISH. © On the West coast of Lewis by the wide Atlantic; there was ne'er a scene, so blithe and romantic. Over four thousand years ago, the ancients raised stones; but there's little left now, not even their bones. The stones of Callanish, on a misty morn; where close by, the love between Fin and Marshally was re-born. They spent that night by the beach in their youth; eyes for each other, never caring for the truth. The last Summer on the Isle of his boyhood; before the move to Glasgow, as both of them would. Both children of Lewis, and proud Hebridean; the last, before fate and adulthood began. BY JACK D. HARRISON. 2020. Inspired by ‘The Blackhouse’ by Peter May; Photography of David Wilson; and the Outer Hebrides.

My family roots are from Barra. It looks very much like Cape Breton Island in Canada. I can see why many settled there. I hope to visit one day.

I think that Michael Palin and Eric Idle of Monty Python took this presenter as a model for their satires of tour guides and presenters. They mirror his exaggerated gestures and mannerisms perfectly, or perhaps our presenter here learned his style from them. Monty Python fans likely would find this presentation quite comical.

Enjoyed this - great imagery. PS in the section on Fingal's cave I'd be interested in a bit of historical background - why did all those people go there?

I'm surprised you haven't had many more views and comments! A very thorough series, sympathetically presented, with a lot of feeling for what makes the Gaels and the islands so distinct.
