Ringing Stone, island of Tiree
This is what it was used for in ancient times...
ringing stone
The Ringing Stone or Clach a' Choire is an Ice Age erratic boulder allegedly from Rhum. It is a much younger type of rock than the Lewisian gneiss which comprises most of Tiree and is the oldest rock in Britain, some 2000 million years old. The stone bears 53 circular cup marks relating to religious practice dating back to 2500 BC. If you strike the boulder with a stone it produces a metallic, bell-like tone.
Звенящий камень. Данный булыжник с острова Rum и попал на остров Tiree около 10 000 лет назад. Данный камень по возрасту младше Льюисских гнейсов составляющих Tiree и в то же время это самый старый отдельный булыжник Великобритании. Ему около 2000 миллионов лет. На булыжнике 53 выдолбленных круглых отпечатков-зазубков, свидетельствующих о религиозных ритуалах возле камня 2500 лет назад. Если стукнуть по камню другим камням, булыжник производит метеллический, похожий на звон колокола звук.

The surprising thing about the monuments of these outliers of the British Isles is that not since the grandeur of Avebury in Wiltshire and Stanton Drew in Somerset have we seen stone circles the size of some of these. If size was an expression of 'wealth', how was it being bestowed on the populations of these islands?
This is the last of a complete seven-part online edition of Standing with Stones. If you've ever dreamed of travelling through Great Britain & Ireland, visiting the standing stones and other fantastic monuments that our ancient ancestors left us, then you will love this film. Over two years in the making, Standing with Stones was made by just two men with great film making skills, a camper van and a passion for the monuments in stone left to us by Neolithic and Bronze Age ancestors. The result is a remarkable feature length documentary film that take the viewer on a journey of discovery, uncovering the true extent and variety of megalithic Britain and Ireland.
In this episode, Callanish, Grey Cairns of Camster, Maes Howe, Ring of Brodgar, Stenness, Skara Brae, The Tomb of the Eagles.
