Don’t tell the SNP. They’ll be demanding compensation.

Your ancestors already did the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
That’s incredible. Would have taken *months* of hauling that stone down the country. It must have had extreme importance to the people who did it.
How could they move such big stones from another side of the world? Even with 4 horse power, it would be near impossible. How many years did they build it?
New evidence came to light that the stone had previously been deep-fried.
SMH Wales. That one is getting added to the list.
Fake national flower, fake national animal, fake language, fake claim to Stonehenge.
That’s insane, Wales was already far given the size and weight of those things.
Now we’re going to get conspiracy nuts touching themselves to this though
