By Bernie Bell.

Having strimmed some of the meadow, Mike went to Allan’s of Gillock in Finstown to get more strimmer-line, and thought he’d have a walk to Cuween.

He stood on top – the shadow is the mound, and the little ‘blip’ on top is Mike

Does that say something about our time on earth compared to that of the ancient sites?

He went inside

Then carried on up to where folk like to raise towers of stone – the line across the front isn’t formed by small stones – they’re mushrooms

When we were there a few years ago there was a big fairy ring….

Cuween Cairn – Wideford Hill

This time, there was a huge fairy ring – the  ring itself being a solid circle of big mushrooms

Walking back down the path, he turned and took this picture

He showed me this when he got home, and said….’What’s that?’

I answered…. ‘It’s the time that’s in it….’
