If you are visiting the Airlich Hill Cup Marked Stone too I'd recommend taking the looping track up there first then dropping down to the circle after. (1 comment - Vote or comment on this photo)

Had an enjoyable walk up here recently. On returning down the lane met the new landowner who is having work done on the farm buildings. He was wondering what I had been doing wandering about and I feared the worst re future access. On the contrary he was interested in the circle and its possible history and purpose so I suggested he used our wonderful website to discover more.

RCAHMS list this site under the name Meikle Findowie, with Airlich and Strath Braan as alternatives.

Visiting Airlich Stone Circle by sacrednumber on Tuesday, 25 March 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
Visited this local site on a brilliant March afternoon. The circle site commands views to the east and west along the glacial valley and the many windmills beyond opposite ridge. It might be worth linking the site to standing stones along the valley. The northern stones are relatively undamaged and have an outer smooth surface following the curvature of the ring. There seem to be outliers and many stones beneath moss, heather or embankments. The land is ridged perhaps for drainage.

DIRECTIONS
On the road from Dunkeld past Trochry (A882), one needs a left turn before a road bridge to Meikle Fingask Farm. Parking is best immediately to left since metal bridge over the Braan is somewhat hair-raising and beyond requires an off-road vehicle anyway. (take care on the A882, it has dangerous curves and narrowings)

The farm is half a mile and at the end there is a gate onto the boggy moor. Instead, we walked past house and outbuildings to another gate in the corner, from which a rough road continues.

As you go past a wall to the left, notice the channel between fence and wall, which has been used as a path. This continues on a gradual and generally dry incline. Dog leg left, left of the wall when its course changes and heading into the moorland, the stone circle appears.

We descended directly traversing bogginess everywhere to the gate at head of farm drive.
