Breemie Stones submitted by sacredway : Looking over the granite recumbent and flankers towards the Barmekin Hill at Echt (hill fort remains on top of the Barmekin hill). Note the shape of the recumbent mimicks the shape of the Barmekin Hill and the distant Hill of Fare. It was aligned to this hill on its SW axis. The left flanker is about 6.5 feet tall.

Spotted this on my way to South Fornet. Looks like a creative JCB job!

Some more about the Breemie circle is on my web site below.
http://www.sacredway.co.uk/Breemie2006/breemiebeginings06.htm

The whole story was printed in Sacred Hoop issue 51
2006 edition but is very long (http://www.sacredhoop.org). You can read it online in
their web version of 'sold out ' editions if you are interested.

Re: Breemie Stone Circle Midsummer Celebration Cancelled by Anonymous on Friday, 25 May 2007
I know people NEED places like this to try and return to the old ways,but I feel it would be so much better to find the old sacred and lost places from the past, and BRING them to life again.Build your stone circles around sacred lost sites and enjoy the magic of old again as it once was.The energies remain waiting for the stones to mark their influence, let the people find and walk again these special places, and sing and dance as in the days of old.And let the world become as one again....mmike

Breemie Stone Circle Midsummer Celebration Cancelled by bat400 on Thursday, 17 May 2007
(User Info | Send a Message)
Submitted by sacredway ---

A very sad day for the thousands of people who come from all over the island and last year, the world. This unique celebration held in the large 21 metre diameter recumbent stone circle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland has been cancelled in what would have been its third year.

Due to personal reasons with one of the land owners, the co-creator of the stone circle and festival organiser, Jason Schroeder has not been given permission to hold it again this year. For more information and what can 'you' do to help, please visit http://www.sacredway.co.uk.

Fires lit at modern stone circle marked shortest day

Fires were lit at a modern stone circle in Aberdeenshire (Scotland)
to mark the winter solstice. The Breemie stones, at Broomhill, by
Lyne of Skene, attracted people for quiet reflection as they watched
the sun set on the shortest day of the year. Organisers of the
gathering asked people to take along wood to fuel four fires.
Jason Schroeder, who erected the stone circle, urged visitors to
write down experiences they did not want to live through again on a
piece of paper before burning the messages in the central fire. Mr
Schroeder, originally from South Africa, said around 3,500 revellers
turned up at his previous summer solstice at the stones.
The ceremony started at sunset and was due to end around 10pm.
Visitors were told not to bring alcohol or to camp at the site but
urged to take along musical instruments to add to the entertainment.
The 11 granite stones were placed in a circle more than 20 yards
across at Broomhill in May last year by Mr Schroeder and land owner
Alan Brownie.
