Tràigh Iar and the Shadow of St Maolrubha
A day of fierce wind, restless skies and an early downpour. We turned north again for a circuit of Berneray — once an island, now leashed to North Uist by a causeway built in 1999.

#StandingStoneSunday Here’s shot of the assembled masses on an Andy Collins walking tour of #Avebury. Andy is a top man and also expert on all things #neolithic
This scene reminds me a little of the hippy gatherings at stone circles in the Sir John Mills #Quatermass series if any of you remember that? I’m happy to say no one was harvested during Andy’s tour.
5,500-year-old Küsterberg megalithic tomb restored in Germany
A 5,500-year-old megalithic tomb has been brought back to life in the heart of Germany’s Saxony-Anhalt region. Located in the forest near Haldensleben, the Küsterberg tomb—one of Central Europe’s most prominent Neolithic burial monuments—was officially inaugurated on April 27, 2025, to coincide with the annual Day of Megalithic Culture.

Wander through the countryside in Portugal's Castelo de Vide and you’ll find the Megalithic Park of Coureleiros: a cluster of several Neolithic dolmens scattered across farmland, some nearly lost to time.
In my latest video, I explore what’s left of these ancient tombs …and what they still have to tell us!

Just outside Palmela, on a rocky ridge above fields of wildflowers, lie some of Portugal’s most extraordinary Neolithic tombs: the rock-cut caves of Quinta do Anjo.
Carved by hand into solid rock over 5,000 years ago, these ancient burial chambers still echo with mystery and reverence.
