Stones donated from near and far

Many people brought a stone with them to The Gathering of Stones to be built into the monument.

Each stone came with a story and history. If these stones could talk, the sound echoing around Lough Boora would be deafening.

​

As part of the event, attendees and the public were invited to bring a stone home to Lough Boora, to become part of the monument. It was wonderful to see how the public took to the project, bringing stones and stories with them.

Many people have connections with stones and many of us have taken a stone with us from a place we have made a connection with, be it a pebble from a beach or a stone from a mountaintop.

It is these connections with stones that made the whole event emotionally charged and it is only as these stones and stories began to collect on site that the importance of this monument really started to sink in with those building it.
