Okay, I am currently reading the series of books called Song of Albion by Stephen Lawhead. It's based on Celtic Mythology and has inspired me. The main plot is the Otherworld (another dimension in simple terms) is leaking into our world and ours into it's. Anyways, the main portal is a cairn.

It says that the Celts would mark the portals but things such as cairns, stone circles, standing stones, mounds and other enduring marks. I instantly though of Stone Henge. (Is that how you spell it?)

So, my bunny, a girl or boy (any age) of Celtic descent visits S.H. or some sort of marker. Then, they get thrown into M-E (or someone gets thrown here) and go off on adventures.

If written well it could be interesting.

This is a good one, but may I add? What about having the travellers appear in the approximate geographical equivalent of where the cairn was placed in their world?

In the First Age?

Namely... Dorthonion.

Research to me suggests that Dorthonion was the First Age Middle Earth echo of Scotland -- specifically during the time of Robert the Bruce. It might be a fun idea to play with the setting -- either before the Dagor Bragollach, or during Beren's time after the fall of Beor's people after Gorlim's betrayal, or even while Barahir and his twelve followers are still there, exiles in their own land. If you wanted them to travel, they could meet up with Emeldir leading the last of Dorthonion's women and children to Hithlum and Doriath.

I'd love to see more set in that time and place.

Ooo, I'd love to pick this one up and run with it, but with so many bunnies already it would hardly be fair to take another one in. However, if this plotbunny is still up for adoption once most of mine are [strike]killed[/strike] written I'll see what I can do.
