Fantastic- when on Lewis make sure you get to see Margaret Curtis it will be the best history lesson on the stones you will ever have. she has so much knowledge to impart, and if you are lucky she might involve you in some practical work looking for evidence of stone circles. I can't recommend a visit to Margaret highly enough.

I should have mentioned Margaret, sorry. We spent a few hours at with her at Callanish and later in the week she came with us down to Harris. She is a remarkable woman - was living alone with about 20 cats when we met her. Last I heard of her, she is becoming frail and needs a walking aid to get about.
An Avebury friend gave me her telephone number - having visited Lewis a bit ahead of me. If she is still meeting people I am sure the Callanish Visitor's Centre would be able to give out her contact details. She does appreciate payment for her time but I think this may be negotiable.
