This island in Scotland inspired designer Vivienne Westwood - SilverKris

"A dramatic prehistoric arrangement of 13 towering standing stones that encircle a central monolith; the site predates the Egyptian pyramids and commands views over Loch Roag, offering both archaeological significance and sweeping coastal vistas." - SilverKris
