Stone me!

Summer solstice, and we have the usual sight of Druids holding their ceremonies at Stonehenge. Now I've no problem with that, but what I do baulk at is this idea that they put about that Stonehenge is somehow "theirs", and that they therefore have some sort of absolute right to use it in this way. The history of Druidism either only goes back 500 years or so, or is lost in the mists of time, depending on who you listen to, but what we can be sure about is that either way Stonehenge is much, much older. So it's no more theirs than anyone else's.
