@BBCRadioScot Bumped to lunchtime show, then bumped from that! That's live news programming, totally understandable. Maybe another time.

[Stone Me @StoneMePodcast]

All being well I'll be talking about my travels to see neolithic monuments on @BBCRadioScot on GMS, towards the end of the programme. Tune in!

@urbanprehisto Ha! Need to save up and do some in Ireland before going all continental I think.

[Stone Me @StoneMePodcast]

Not slacking though! Plenty of stones to see at the archaeology museum in Munich.

There are still two programmes to come in series two of Stone Me but I'm away on holiday! So there'll be a little break and I'll publish the next two in November.

Maeshowe used to be the most revered neolithic building in Scotland, but Str27 at Ness of Brodgar gave it competition. Similarities between the two are making experts like Mark Edmonds wonder: were they built at the same time? More in this week's Stone Me.

Doon Hill has been a part of @IanRalston5's entire working life. Find out how he doggedly stuck at it for decades against fierce opposition and cricitism to unearth the truth about this - it turns out - neolithic site. #neolithic #archaeology #doonhill #cycletouring

Were timber circles actually spooky, symbolic forests, branches and all? And were they some kind of atonement by neolithic farmers? Find out as we visit suburban Glenrothes to hear about Balfarg Henge with Kenny Brophy. @urbanprehisto

Series two of Stone Me will go live in 10 days! Join me as I hear from experts at some of the most glamorous and beautiful neolithic monuments in Scotland. And also at some that are, ah, just about invisible to the naked eye. #neolithic #archaeology

Series one went live at exactly midsummer last year. The first programme in this series will go live at the autumn equinox, on Sunday 22 September at 13:43. Well if neolithic people could make stuff to astronomical patterns, so can I! . #neolithic #archaeology
