Know what ya mean... When I first set out in search of megaliths I was only interested in the sites themselves- I never looked up, never looked at the land- I was only interested in the invisible straight line to the next site. Now my eyes have been opened to a whole ancient landscape- the hills have been around for so much longer than the megalith builders and I'm finally getting into that mind-set of landscape interpretation and inspiration (see my Tormain Hill notes). In search for new sites nowadays I'll often look to the highest hills first and the horizon/skylines and many times I've been blown away by finding sites either on top of those hills, or around the base, such as Corstorphine Hill in Edinburgh, or the monoliths around Huly Hill that point back to Corstorphine Hill and Arthurs Seat.
