Machrie Moor…

Isle of Arran, Sunday, 30th October 2022

***

***

What had looked, from a distance, like

some sort of board game in progress…

***

***

Up close just looked confusing.

***

***

Without the advantage of height

the concentric rings were not obvious.

***

***

As the only imaginatively named site

on the moor I would have liked to stay much longer…

***

***

Maybe it was the sun beginning to strengthen…

***

***

Maybe it was the prospect of more monuments

than we had been initially led to believe…

***

***

Maybe it was a combination of both these factors…

***

***

Something was impelling me deeper into the moor…

***

***

Then I saw it!

***

***

The Ghoul Stone…

***

***

Called to me,

clear as the sunlight

illuminating the valley…
