Stobo Kirk standing stone

Stobo Kirk standing stone submitted by nicoladidsbury on 14th Oct 2007. Stobo Kirk
There is a very long stone in the fabric of the wall of the chapel. There is also a smaller long stone, which is the same colour. Could this be a fragment of the larger stone. And could this once have been a standing stone. There is a similar stone in the other wall. This is a very ancient site, and it is possible that St Kentigern chose is for his church because of its pagen importance, so it could be a standing stone. 2 miles to the NE are a pair of standing stones.

Barclodiad-y-Gawres (Anglesey) submitted by nicoladidsbury on 19th Apr 2006. The bay of Porth Trecastell
It was getting dark when I left the chambered cairn of Barcloiad y Gawres. The full moon had risen, and was pouring light over the bay of Trecastell. I caught this photo of the waves crashing against the rocks. Then sat quietly, and watched the moon rise, its light reflecting across the bay, broken by the plusing of the waves. A magic time. :)

The photo shows the size of the stones flanking the doorway into one of the "huts".
This place is so impressive.
And so peaceful.
The sun was very low when we were there, and we were the only people. The only other sounds was the breeze in the trees that surround the settlement and the birds.
A magic place.
