“February. Another cold, dead month, or so it seems. The elms are bare against the sky, the plough-ground is naked and wet, and still as brown as the sodden leaves. Yet the world is waking up”. Artists: Edith Hilder, Rowland Hilder (ShellGuide, 1955)

And at some places, we can feel closer to the rhythms of the world... Cairn Holy 1 chambered cairn is a remarkable monument which has been visibly revisted and reused for nearly six thousand years. #prehistory #TombTuesday @archscot.bsky.social @the.stone.club @megalithic.bsky.social
