A stone circle discovered through Google Earth?

   Members of the German website Schottlandportal discovered with the help of Google Earth two interesting submerged structures near Loch Clickhimin, Shetland (Scotland). The most prominent of these structures may be a stone circle, while the other looks like a causeway, both dating back to Bronze Age. In ancient times the water level was probably much lower, so these stone settings could have been built originally on an isle.

   The German webmasters got in contact with Scottish archaeologists, in order to make a closer check of the area, so to properly identify - if present - those ancient remains.

Bart,

I've been to Scotland several times.  I'd probably be living there if not for the sudden and tragic death of my dear friend, Bruce Stevenson, a spirit if there ever was one.  He was the last person in my life I could truly count on, and that was 9 years ago.

I miss you, Bruce.  I'm sure many people miss you.

Anyway, Scotland is amazing.  Stone circles, abbeys and castles, for e.g., are just sitting around there, unsupervised or barely so.

Thanksfor reminding me about Google Earth.  I'm going to revisit a place or two from the skye!
