Hi tjj,
I really have no knowledge about the positioning of sites being linked to astronomical phenomena. All I know is, it was ruddy fantastic! The sense of history and mystery was palpable, enhanced a thousandfold by the skies and surroundings.



Sounds like a great experience. I loved Orkney, will definitely be going back.
Different, but the same in many ways, I went up to Castlerigg in (very) thick fog one night a couple of years ago and I will never forget that experience. Complete silence and a grey shroud over everything. It was both frightening and thrilling, the sense of there being 'something' (I don't know what) there was so strong, and together with the knowledge, or imaginings of what took place there, it got all bit much!


I'll bet it did! I would have LOVED that, but not alone! I was free to wander around the Ring of Brodgar in the darkness with the knowledge that my friend and fellow hostel folk were just over the heather!
