The Caiy Stane | Edinburgh Scotland | Neolithic Age | Ancient History | Rock Art | Before Caledonia 

Please leave a comment below on any of your local urbanised ancient stones.

The nearest site to me that I know of isn't a standing stone, it's a prehistoric hillfort. It's called Fallburn and is just off the A73. If the weather suits we walk the dog up the path to it but you have to keep dogs on their lead as it's grazing land. One time we couldn't enter the hillfort as the sheep were in residence.

Thank you!

THANK YOU MARTIN.................. 👍🙏>>>💚

I know of a very little known standing stone in east Whitburn hidden away in the trees

Another very informative video. It's good that it's still there, standing as a testament to the ancient people. Thanks for this.

Very nice 👍

The Monolith at Rudstone churchyard is rather spectacular.

Interesting the entomology of the word Stane - as near me in Surrey a little place on the Thames, more famous for a comedy film than it's impressive history unfortunately Staines-Upon-Thames. According to local historians the name Staines was Anglo Saxon for Stones, which would make sense as Staines was reputed to have a stone circle called the Negen Stones, which are now gone but.... Up the Thames at Kingston, there is the Kings Stone, a ancient stone, supposed to be part of a circle that once existed in the area but was used by Anglo Saxon Kings as a Coronation stone much like the more famous Stone of Scone.

there's a standing stone in inch Edinburgh i walk by sometimes i think they moved it to build the road when building the scheme

The Camus Stane was a separate monolith that stood to the north. Just to the south were the 'Cat Heaps' two massive cairns that were plundered for road material. Apparently in the gardens of houses to the south lie the bases of these cairns. When the road was being constructed in the 18th century, burials were found extending for a mile, in cists and in rock-cut graves. Weapons of bronze and Iron were found, although where they are now, I have no idea. Mounds yielding burials have been found over the ground as far as Mortonhall, where the famous scabbard was found. A scatter of Roman coins was found during the construction of Frogstone Road. This is one of the largest prehistoric "cemeteries" found in Scotland, but has never been properly investigated!!

Wow never knew ! Thank you Martin 🔥
