Stone Me

Join @matthewmagee as he travels to the furthest corners of Scotland to its most glamorous (and windy!) neolithic monuments. Hear from experts what life was like 5,000 years ago and what these stunning stone monuments can tell us. #Archaeology #archaeologytravel #neolithic

@BBCRadioScot Bumped to lunchtime show, then bumped from that! That's live news programming, totally understandable. Maybe another time.

All being well I'll be talking about my travels to see neolithic monuments on @BBCRadioScot on GMS, towards the end of the programme. Tune in! #bbcgms

@urbanprehisto Ha! Need to save up and do some in Ireland before going all continental I think.

@StoneMePodcast Next series: Steinige Mich

Not slacking though! Plenty of stones to see at the archaeology museum in Munich.

There are still two programmes to come in series two of Stone Me but I'm away on holiday! So there'll be a little break and I'll publish the next two in November.

With @archaeostef of @HistEnvScot and Vicki Cummings. Wherever you get your podcasts.

Join me as I visit the two stunning tombs of Cairn Holy outside Dumfries and hear an incredible theory about how short their useful life might have really been. #neolithic #archaeology #cycletouring @HistEnvScot

@thedreadedlurgy Well this is the highest possible praise, thanks! Glad you're enjoying it.

If you enjoyed Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing (and who doesn't?) then here's something equally calm, thoughtful, and just lovely: the latest episode of @StoneMePodcast . stonemepodcast.com/programmes/mae…

Maeshowe used to be the most revered neolithic building in Scotland, but Str27 at Ness of Brodgar gave it competition. Similarities between the two are making experts like Mark Edmonds wonder: were they built at the same time? More in this week's Stone Me. #neolithic #archaeology

Doon Hill has been a part of @IanRalston5's entire working life. Find out how he doggedly stuck at it for decades against fierce opposition and cricitism to unearth the truth about this - it turns out - neolithic site. #neolithic #archaeology #doonhill #cycletouring

@urbanprehisto Wherever you get your podcasts or find out more here: stonemepodcast.com/programmes/bal…

Were timber circles actually spooky, symbolic forests, branches and all? And were they some kind of atonement by neolithic farmers? Find out as we visit suburban Glenrothes to hear about Balfarg Henge with Kenny Brophy. @urbanprehisto #archaeology #neolithic #cycletouring

It's live! Series two of Stone Me begins with a visit to the incredible Ness of Brodgar in its final days, and includes the emotionally charged moment this unique site is returned to the earth to preserve it. Find out more at stonemepodcast.com/programmes/fil…

A splendid podcast to listen to. #archaeology #heritage

@Dunragit_Postex @gmacg_1 @urbanprehisto @stefsagrott @HistEnvScot @IanRalston5 @NessofBrodgar @OAS_Orkney @ArchScot Thanks!

@StoneMePodcast @gmacg_1 @urbanprehisto @stefsagrott @HistEnvScot @IanRalston5 @NessofBrodgar @OAS_Orkney @ArchScot Loved the first series!

Series two of Stone Me will go live in 10 days! Join me as I hear from experts at some of the most glamorous and beautiful neolithic monuments in Scotland. And also at some that are, ah, just about invisible to the naked eye. #neolithic #archaeology

Series one went live at exactly midsummer last year. The first programme in this series will go live at the autumn equinox, on Sunday 22 September at 13:43. Well if neolithic people could make stuff to astronomical patterns, so can I! . #neolithic #archaeology
