This stone is located in the village of Ballantrushal on the west side of Lewis. Like many standing stones, it has been said that it marks the site of a great battle, the last one fought between the feuding Clan Macaulay and Clan Morrison, however it is actually the solitary upright stone remaining from a stone circle built about 5,000 years ago. It translates from Scottish Gaelic as the Stone of Compassion. Local oral tradition strongly maintains that the monolith marks the site of the final great battle between the historic feuding families of the area, the Macaulays of Uig and the Morrisons of Ness. Other legends state the stone was erected during the Viking era to mark the grave of a Norse warrior or prince who fell in combat nearby. Given its prominent position on a northwest facing hillside overlooking the Atlantic, some theories suggest it served as an ancient sea marker or beacon for prehistoric sailors. Also known as Clach an Truiseil, it is Scotland's tallest standing stone. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

Tour Scotland short 4K Autumn Friday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of beautiful, sociable, black and white Magpie Birds spotted eating on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The magpie bird is one of our most familiar birds and the source of much myth and legend: '" ne for sorrow, two for a joy "is a rhyme that many children learn. Magpies are, in fact, small crows, and are omnivorous, feeding on carrion, invertebrates, and chicks and eggs. They are sociable birds and are often seen in small groups across many habitats, from gardens to parks, and heaths to hedges. The magpie is an unmistakeable long tailed bird. It is mainly black, with a white belly and white patches on the shoulders and wings. Folklore surrounds the magpie: from providing good luck when greeted, to being in league with the Devil, its ubiquitous presence has provided plenty of opportunities for stories. Many surround religion, including the belief that it didn't mourn with all the other birds at Christ's crucifixion, and that it refused to enter Noah's Ark, preferring to stay on the roof and swear for the whole journey.
