Join @matthewmagee as he travels to the furthest corners of Scotland to its most glamorous (and windy!) neolithic monuments. Hear from experts what life was like 5,000 years ago and what these stunning stone monuments can tell us. #Archaeology #archaeologytravel #neolithic

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! #bbcgms

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

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.

Join me as I visit the two stunning tombs of Cairn Holy outside Dumfries and hear an incredible theory about how short their useful life might have really been. #neolithic #archaeology #cycletouring @HistEnvScot

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. #neolithic #archaeology

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 #archaeology #neolithic #cycletouring

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

My own post excavation work after saying goodbye to the @nessofbrodgar today. I have no idea how I'm going to squeeze all this into half an hour! It was a real privilege to be there the last few days. Weather was fittingly bleak. #orkney #archaeology #neolithic #nessofbrodgar

An emotional day in the final hours of digging at the Ness of Brodgar. It finishes tomorrow, and it was very moving to see work continue at the same methodical, careful pace as ever, though people knew it would be covered over within days. #archaeology #nessofbrodgar #neolithic
