It was raining lightly at the Callanish Standing Stones on the Isle of Leodus (Lewis), but it didn't dampen our amazement. We spent over a week exploring these neo-lithic sites and others in the Orkney Isles, sites that are older than the pyramids of Egypt. All I can say is go there! We'll go back to Scotland for the 'Gathering of the Clans in 2014 at Stirling, but Chris insists on going to Greece first. The magazine that Christine's holding is 'Outside Bozeman', and we were pretty far outside at Callanish.<br />

Specifically, The Outer Hebrides, and The Orkney Isles where a lot of the action takes place. We've already purchased our plane tickets and we leave on the 25th of July.<br /><br />The above photo was for a formal 'Sweetheart' dance in February. It looks like we're ready for Scotland, don't you think?
