sunset was observed on 31 January 2001 from the entrance of Maeshowe,
and as predicted by both Victor Reijs and Ewan McKie, and agreed my
Charles Tait, the sun skimmed the slope of the Cuilags, disappeared
into the knuckle between Cuilags and the Kame of Hoy and then reappeared
for a few moments below the west side of the Kame. Thus in addition
to the reappearence on the North side of the Ward Hill about 20 days
before and the Winter Solstice another "reappearance" has
now been proven to take place at Maeshowe, about 40 days before and
after the Winter Solstice. This sequence of events seems very unlikely
to be fortuitous, and implies that the position of Maeshowe is planned
in a very accurate manner.
