Historic Environment Scotland manage access; you have to pay to enter the site. The funds are used to keep the land in check (such as mowing the grass), which ensures that as much as possible these places are accessible to as many people as possible. They also manage conservation of these places too, stop other bits falling over and hurting people etc.

Heh, where do you think all the inspiration comes from?

These and many others throughout the UK, for sure.

Thanks! I do indeed, all here -> https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/6/8/rumbling-kern-howick-northumberland-summer

Nope. Cross-stratification in sandstones. Each curved layer represents an ancient dune or ripple that migrated across a river channel or shallow sea floor.

Thanks! Where do you think Elden Ring gets a lot of its inspiration from?

Aye, the weather was just lovely. I had to make conscious decisions to find the shadows and dark places in order to make the light and compositions work in my favour.

Danny is a legend.

Thank you, I do try to achieve a more painterly feel.

Thanks!

Me too, me too.

Cheers! This was shot just after sunrise and we were one of the first up there in October, so definitely a lot more quiet than peak season.

Thanks!

I love that the UK as a whole has managed to hold on to so many stone circles. There’s something magical and mysterious about them, thinking about the thousands of years they’ve been there.

It does seem to inspire a somewhat “marmite” reaction in people.

Ta!

You’re right, I was supposed to write “wind and sea” but habit took over.

This could easily be a film poster of some nature. Fantastic.
