Tour Scotland very short 4K early Autumn travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and sporran and walking by the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, Laggangairn Standing Stones on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to remote moorland inDumfries and Galloway, Britain, United Kingdom. Local lore suggest that these two lonely pillars were not always alone. They are believed to be the last remnants of a much larger prehistoric stone circle that originally comprised up to 14 stones. As late as 1873, a local minister recorded that seven of the stones were still standing. The name Laggangairn translates roughly from Gaelic to hollow of the cairns, hinting that the surrounding desolation once hosted prehistoric burial mounds or ritual monuments. According to legend, a local tenant farmer from the nearby Laggangairn or Pultadie farm decided to repurpose the ancient circle stones to build lintels, doorsteps, and gateposts for his new house. The locals viewed this as a terrible desecration, and a curse supposedly befell the family shortly after. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. Meteorological Autumn or Fall is different from standard and astronomical Autumn and begins September 1 and ends November 30
