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…
