Another for #StandingStoneSunday: while I was there a skylark flew down and lit on a stone at Scotland's Tomnaverie stone circle. I was thrilled because Shelley's To a Skylark was one of my favorite poems when I was young but we don't have them in the States. I got to see and hear them plenty during my visit. #Scotland#bird#birds#skylark#tomnaverie
Tomnaverie Stone Circle near Tarland in Aberdeenshire. One of 99 "recumbent" stone circles in north-east Scotland, it was built over 4,000 years ago on a hilltop that has since been cut into by a quarry that is very close to the circle.
