Scotland

Argyll and Bute
St. Columba's Point, Isle of Bute
The site of an eternal spring, the ruins of an ancient retreat remain. Very powerful golden light bathes this site and it is highly recommended.

Caithness
St. Mary's, four miles west of Thurso
The site of another eternal spring and the remains of a twelfth century church still stands there. A strange site, calm despite the turbulent weather of that part of Scotland. It attracts a strong sense of spirits being all around you.

East Lothian
Doon Hill, by Dunbar
An ancient temple site where the witches used to dance in the 16th century. Though nothing shows above ground, excavations have revealed a temple and a hall which may have been a lord's hall or more likely a Christian church.
