One Argyll valley holds more prehistoric monuments per square mile than almost anywhere else in Europe. 🪨

Kilmartin Glen contains an extraordinary concentration of ancient sites within a few miles of each other, a linear cemetery of Bronze Age burial cairns runs almost the entire length of the valley, alongside standing stones, rock art panels covered in mysterious cup-and-ring markings, and later Iron Age forts, representing roughly 5,000 years of continuous human activity in a remarkably compact area. Archaeologists have never fully agreed on what the cup-and-ring carvings actually meant to the people who made them, theories range from astronomical mapping to territorial markers to purely symbolic or ritual significance.

What makes Kilmartin particularly valuable to researchers is the sheer density and variety of monument types clustered together, rather than studying isolated sites in different regions, archaeologists can examine how monument-building practices evolved and changed within a single, continuously used landscape over millennia. The glen remains an active area of ongoing archaeological research, with new interpretations of the site's purpose and use still being proposed and debated today.

Five thousand years of monument-building concentrated into one small valley, and we still can't fully explain what most of it meant. Have you visited Kilmartin Glen, or is this your first time hearing about it?

For a long time, we called cutting ourselves off from nature "progress."

Leaving the forest, building walls, putting glass between us and the wind. Every step took us a little further from the mud, the cold, the animals...and we called it civilization. Today a child recognizes hundreds of logos and almost no birdsong. That's not an accident. It's the result of a world built so that nature becomes scenery, then a memory, then nothing at all.

But the wire is never fully cut. That's what this quote is about. The feeling that ambushes you in front of an animal, an old tree, a wave. That isn't weakness, it's memory. A reminder that for 300,000 years we weren't in nature: we were nature. The same carbon, the same water, the same breath.

The people destroying the living world need us to forget that. A severed wire doesn't protest. It's easier to level a forest you no longer see as kin but only as a resource, a line on a balance sheet.

So if something tightens in you reading this, don't shush it. It means the connection is still holding. And a connection that holds is worth defending.

In general, our culture is behind on this concept, but momentum is growing! For almost 2 decades, individual and collective consciousness expansion has been the cornerstone of our work - yet it's the least popular content we create.

We've come to think we can solve everything with logic and science alone. This has produced a culture that lives almost entirely in their heads. We're almost being forced to connect back to our hearts and nature in a big way, or face our own demise.

David Attenborough is someone so many of us grew up watching and learning from. Him and the amazing teams he worked with brought the incredible beauty , complexity and power of nature into our living rooms. His documentaries inspired awe, taught us about the interconnectedness of the world we live in and left us with a better understanding of so many different places and species.

Like so many people, I grew up on his docos. Asked at a press conference before the 2015 Rugby World Cup Final in London who I’d like to invite I replied, ‘David Attenborough’. His daughter actually got in touch saying unfortunately he was away and couldn’t make it. A few years later I got to meet him and asked him about his time in PNG - he lit up and talked about how incredible it was, detailing some of his fondest memories there. His love of nature was so evident and inspiring. We have so much to gain from a deeper connection to the world around us. Thank you for inspiring so many of us.

Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David Attenborough.
