"I felt myself drift in and out of the time of the "here and now" into a more ancient, and ineffable, time; a time that lurks somewhere in the shadows, and is a part of the very fabric of the megaliths themselves. Mindful observers are seduced with glimpses of a parallel world that coexists with ours, but whose essence transcends the "normal" dimensions perceivable via our physical senses alone. The Ring o'Brodgar is a physical symbol of timelessness and transcendence. It is a place for serious contemplation and meditation. A boundary between all that has been forgotten and the just as mysterious unknown future history that is yet to be written."
The Ring o' Brodgar originally contained 60 stones, of which 27 still stand today. The stones range in height from 7' to 15', set within a circular ditch up to 10' deep, 30' wide and 1,200' in circumference carved out of the solid sandstone bedrock. Estimates place its origin between 2500 and 2000 BC.
