I hope that no one except myself has seen these exact views and heard this soundtrack before I share it online as I believe that I live alone and now I have started asking myself about anyone else watching in on my world more than I do already. This is a Saturday morning and the outer limits of a husk of hollow Saturn ideas are even now sinking further into my bones. The hollow nature of a Saturnian dilemma provides it with fashion and form without certain supposed strength that in lacking a less standard body evades any and all concept of vital validity that gives determined deleting a chance, a hope and even sometimes a success.

The stones hold on to the memories that are created in their situation and the reliving of so much Scottish history here brings about great sharing and caring for the past in and on through the struggles and the successes. Like a Loch Edge Loom this site catches the breezes and only lets them loose after they have left a little of their voice here. Even the rising mists give their impressions from out of the earth upon their way to the heavens above. Somehow this attraction is able to weave the sounds of winds and the magic moments of mists creating long lived legends into historic themed treasured tapestries that illuminate the progress of the tourists, the routes chosen by the pilgrims and the seeking minds of all of the visitors.
