A video argues that, during a southern major lunar standstill at Callanish, the Moon rises at the “Sleeping Beauty” feature, skims the east row and later aligns with the circle’s centre at the foot of the tallest stone when viewed from the north end of the avenue. It cites a 1981 conference paper and photographs attributed to Margaret and Ron from the 1987 standstill.
The ancient comparison needs correcting: Diodorus Siculus wrote about the Hyperboreans’ temple and Apollo’s 19-year visitation, not a Moon visiting every 19 years. Lunar major standstills recur every 18.6 years.
