I assume that the Aztecs were partying with the druids and did it for a lark, then perfected the game back home.

It would have been a very long and difficult journey. Getting it from Wick (probably the most suitable station for a Caithness quarry) to Salisbury would take all day with multiple changes of train. You have to hope that your connections are on time at Inverness and Edinburgh, but the most difficult part of the journey is changing stations in London, where you’d have to carry the bloody thing on the circle line. After rush hour at least, but it would be even more annoying than those idiots who keep their backpacks on.
Finally, after getting there, you still need to shift the thing up to the plain. You probably want to take a break at this point and finish the job in the morning, but this means finding someone to watch it overnight in the station car park, otherwise it might get nicked right before the delivery is complete, and you’d have to go back and get another one.
Gah! You’re right. I mixed up the only two drinks Scotland is known for.

Mornington Crescent!
JD Vance in Romancing the Stone?

It’s not a secret how ancient people shipped things. They used ships. Sure, the rowing does get a bit more difficult on land, but the ancient Britons were a very determined people.
Excellent!
Today is a good day.
Six degrees of separation and all that.
Thanks for this tidbit.
Dragged by cows?
The Sailing Stones of Scotland?
On the A99 and A9 to Stirling, then the M74, A74(M), M6 and M5 to A417 in Gloucestershire. Then they just took the A417 to Wiltshire.
I’m pretty sure if they could figure out building stonehenge then they could also figure out using google maps.
