These images were taken on a recent field trip with master photographer Duncan McEwan to Harris and Lewis, two islands in the Outer Hebrides group which lie off the north western coastline of Scotland. The sequence begins with the famous Standing Stones, a 13 metre circle of 13 stones ranging in height from 1m to 4m hewn from the local Lewisian Gneiss. This circle, which dates from around 2000 BC, is in the centre of what is thought to be a distorted Celtic Cross. Its purpose apparently to mark out significant points in the Lunar cycle. The other images are taken from various points around the two islands.
