Stone Circle in Perthshire

Take the A93 north from Scone towards Guildtown. Turn off east just before Guildtown, on a small road towards Blackfaulds Farm. The circle is in a densely overgrown site to the right of the track by a bend in the road.

Blackfaulds submitted by Thorn555 : Visited 2019. Fabulous little place. By car if you turn right (east) immediately south of Guildtown up the single lane road up, turning at the farm to come back down and park in the first curve in the road (it has a passing place), the stones are just over a few feet over the low wall to your left.

Blackfaulds submitted by hamish : More undergrowth but the stones are there. More sites are to be found in the near area.

Blackfaulds
Blackfaulds submitted by hamish : It is quite dense in here, but keep looking.

Blackfaulds
Blackfaulds submitted by hamish : This is the very devil to find, but after a bit of clambering and slipping it is there over the hedge. It is very overgrown and not easy to find all the stones but with some perseverance the result is worth it.
