Mayburgh Henge

The bank walls are 15 foot high and dwarf the 9 foot standing stone in the middle. The circular bank is made of rounded river stones and pebbles. This was an amazing achievement considering the size and scope of the henge.

This place is full of energy. It is bleak, yet comforting, stark but inspiring. It is an ancient place of worship, and it makes you feel free.

I stood by the stone with my sister, with the wind whipping my hair, and watched my nieces dash and explore. They found a skull of a squirrel, and brought it over to us, their trophy, which seemed quite appropriate.
