For my FINAL Stone Lands paperback tour talk, I’m heading to @SalisburyMuseum in wondrous Wiltshire. Please join me next Thurs 16th July to celebrate Britain’s incredible ancient places! 💚🪨💚

This is nice, thanks Sue! Susan Greaney recommends the best books on Stonehenge fivebooks.com/best-books/sto… via @five_books

Last month I got to visit the awesome 5,000-year-old Isbister Cairn in Orkney aka the Tomb of the Eagles, which has only just reopened post Covid thanks to a community buy-out. And you get to enter flat on your back via a trolley. Great stuff! #TombTuesday

@HooklandGuide I hope you are ok

My street is on fire and several houses are burning. We have been evacuated, but normal Hookland service may not happen for a bit.

@JulianD86666247 Indeed!

@stone_lands Your sunscreen is definitely working that 'mystical haze' to good effect, Fiona! Who knew sunscreen could enhance the art & craft of photography?! ✨️✨️

The Stanarandy Stones near Birsay (Orkney). In a mystical haze that may or may not be sunscreen on the camera lens. I waded knee deep through buttercups to get there so was sneezing a lot in that moment. #StandingStoneSunday

@ChairmanMeh Brilliant- I love that. There aren’t that many of us around. Yes of course I would be happy to -can you message me via my website? (Fionarobertsonbooks.com) And thank you so much for reading it ❤️

@stone_lands just bought your fab book, Stone Lands, from David's Bookshop in Letchworth for my (drum roll)....partner - Fiona Robertson! Kiwi, Scottish on her father's side. Q: Do you do signed insert notes? I'm sure she'd be thrilled. Have started reading it, engrossing.

A misty day at Tomnaverie Stone Circle. No clear view of Lochnagar. #StandingStoneSunday

#StandingStoneSunday Moel Y Uchaf, possibly my favourite stone circle in Britain, due to its remoteness and shear lack of visitation.

@FireOpal88 @SalisburyMuseum It really is!

@stone_lands @SalisburyMuseum Wondrous Wiltshire is right. What an amazing place!

@JulianD86666247 @SalisburyMuseum Thank you so much Julian! ❤️

@stone_lands @SalisburyMuseum Best wishes, Fiona, for this final upcoming tour talk! ✨️🪨✨️

@ECLChristy @SalisburyMuseum It is! Most magnificently weird.

@stone_lands @SalisburyMuseum Is that Silbury Hill?

Tickets here! salisburymuseum.org.uk/whats-on/talk-…

Links to purchase available 4pm GMT on Thursday.

The stone circles of northern England. 🤔 How many can you identify? #archaeology

I’m happy to report that the torch at Wideford Hill cairn (Mainland, Orkney) is currently working. Useful for crawling into those dark, 5,000-year-old chambers … #TombTuesday

@ECLChristy Agree!

@stone_lands As a fantasy writer I adore myths and legends from all around the world. From the flying vimanas of Ancient India to the jyaku statues in Japan, to your amazing megaliths, and the ancient ruins being found in the Amazon. Ancient history is amazing and we must preserve them.

A legendary megalith that will kill you if you watch it move. I absolutely love this! Now this gives me an idea for one of my fantasy stories. I adore folklore 🥰

@achillghost Nice - I must get a copy of that!

@stone_lands Iirc least two of the stories in the BL Tales of the Weird volume on stone circles take this idea as the basis for horror stories

The Stane O’ Quoybune, ringed by not one but two barbed wire fences. To protect it from cows and megalith enthusiasts? Or perhaps it’s to save us from the stone… this is the one that goes to the loch at Hogmanay and if you try to watch, it will kill you… #StandingStoneSunday
