Harestanes (Kirkurd)
Harestanes (Kirkurd) submitted by Bladup : Harestanes stone circle, It's nice for the person who's garden it's in but should it really be in someones garden? (Vote or comment on this photo)
Stone Circle in Scottish Borders. This stone circle consists of four large conglomerate boulders, varying from to to four feet in height, and a fifth broken off at ground level. They are arranged on the circumference of a ten foot circle.

A sixth stone, 5 feet east of the truncated one, has probably been broken off it and moved to its present position in recent times.

More at Canmore site no. 50110.

Note: There are also reports of another Harestanes Circle which has been destroyed

A note on a photograph taken in 2007 by nicoladidsbury says 'no access without permission', as these are in a private garden. Whilst there is a 'responsible right to roam' in Scotland, houses, gardens and military sites are excluded.
