            The Broch at Dun Carloway:

               Built around 200 BC. The stones
                    of the broch—each unique in

                dimension—were fitted together
          without mortar to rise an impressive                                                                      Lithos

         forty feet high in double-walled grace.                                                               comes from the
        Laced with ventilation spaces between,                                                                Greek word λίθος

                  The Standing Stones of
                     Callanish:  Set centuries

                stones share the same shroud of

            mystery of origin and construction.
            The Standing Stones shimmer with

             delicate patterns of ancient gneiss.
