We occasionally surprise each other with mystery trips. It was my turn so I took my husband to the Sighthill Stone Circle. Sadly they have been removed for a housing development and the high rise flats nearby have been demolished. From wikipedia: The Sighthill Park hosts the first astronomically aligned stone circle built in Great Britain for 3,000 years, and is currently maintained by the Glasgow Parks Department Astronomy Project guided by Duncan Lunan. This project is prominent on the highest point of the hill included in the park itself; it is yet to be completed, but a campaign to obtain its completion is underway. Built at the highest point of Sighthill Park, the stone circle has a vantage point over the surrounding tower blocks of the north-east Glasgow estate. There are 17 stones in the circle – with 16 forming a circle 30 feet across, and the largest four tonne stone in the centre. The Sighthill megalith was intended as a tribute to both the ancient megalith builders and the scientists who discovered their significance.
