Western Bandirran.The 2 main standing stones, I think there must have been a storm. Some of the trees were leaning.

This is one of the main stones of the Western Bandirran circle. Great place, best when the grass has died back a bit.

This is the fallen or recument stone of the Eastern Bandirran stones.

These stone groups lie within the same small wooded area as the Bandirran Circles. Access is from the B953 Abernyte to Balbeggie road, over a stile into the wooded area, then head roughly north-west until near the un-numbered road to Collace. The northern group is apparently approximately 100 metres away from the southern group, but I have not uncovered it as yet. This whole area is overlooked

(User Info | Send a Message) | The above posts about there being two Bandirran circles ("Western" and "Eastern") are rather confusing. According to the OS map there is one circle (ruined) plus a single standing stone outlier due east of the circle. According to my personal observations in 2010 this is correct.
As the "Eastern Bandirran" photos by Nick show, the outlier stands close to a recumbent stone and together they may have made a pair of outliers to the circle. The photos by Hamish claim to show a third upright stone on the eastern site but there is no trace of this within 100 yards of the large standing outlier. I suspect that Hamish's photo of the "third stone" is in fact a photo of the east face (the opposite side from the recumbent stone) of the large outlier.
Has anybody got any information to suggest there is or was a third stone? | [ Reply to This ]
