Long Meg And Daughter Stone Circle With Music On History Visit From Scotland To England

Tour Scotland 4K short travel video clip, with Scottish music, of Long Meg and Her Daughters Neolithic stone circle, in Cumbria, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip from Glasgow to England, Britain, United Kingdom. The most famous of the many legends that surround the stones is that they were once a coven of witches who were turned to stone by a wizard from Scotland named Michael Scot. It is said the stones cannot be counted, but, if anyone is able to count them twice and come to the same total, the spell will be broken or it will bring very bad luck. Another legend states that if you walk round the circles and count the number of stones correctly, then put your ear to Long Meg, you will hear her whisper. The name itself is said to come from a local witch, Meg of Meldon, who was alive in the early 17th century. From a certain angle, the Long Meg stone resembles the profile of a witch, facing the stones. Long Meg and Her Daughters was a filming location for the 2012 film Sightseers. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Family Roots in Scotland or England who may wish to visit one day.
