  Dumfries and Galloway Excavations: Holywood 1997
The alignment of Holywood North on the stone circle is an unusual feature of the complex, and presented an opportunity to investigate the relationship between what are conventionally taken as lowland and upland traditions of monument-building.
The argument that the linear monuments might influence movement across the local landscape is given some force by the way in which two of the entrances in the sides of the southern cursus are so positioned as to allow unimpeded passage from the north cursus to the stone circle, or vice-versa (Brophy 1995).
At Holywood, the massive feat of constructing the cursus monuments, re-creating places and establishing pathways across the local topography, was complemented by more intimate events, which reconfigured the land in subtler ways.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Joannes de Sacrobosco
(John Holywood), a monk of English origin, lived in the first half of the thirteenth century as professor of astronomy at Paris; died in that city, 1256.
As many were deterred from undertaking the study of astronomy by such ponderous and to a great extent obscure works as those of Ptolemy, Alfraganus, and Albategnius, Holywood wisely resolved to write a compendium of spherical astronomy, which professors of this branch of knowledge could use as a textbook in their course of instruction.
How well-timed his book was is shown by the numerous editions (amounting to almost one hundred) published before the middle of the seventeenth century, that is to say, before the new Copernican theory was generally adopted.
