A cross posting with my World of Music blog.
There are a few locations where the labours of people from prehistory can still be seen.
The idea of following the story of human impact on natural history is part of the draft specification and one would assume it might follow through into the next iteration of the specification as one of the particular aspects of the new qualification.
Historic Environment Scotland (HES) is apparently considering charging to access some of the more well known locations they manage, including the stones of Callanish / Callanais on the Isle of Harris/Lewis. I visited many years ago.
One programme which is behind the increased interest in the area is a time-travel fantasy called 'Outlander'. This has proved very popular.
Cruise ships can arrive at some of these fragile locations in large numbers, which adds additional pressures onto fragile environments.
This album was recorded by the New Zealand musician Jon Mark in 1988 and is named after the ring at Callanish.
