Shianbank NW submitted by Nick : The NW Circle looking east (Vote or comment on this photo)
Stone Circle in Perthshire

For more information see Canmore ID 28134.

Follow the A94 through Scone towards Shianbank, take the small road on the southern side towards the house at the end of the track. The Circles are in the small wooded area in the fields. There are the remains of what looks like old WW2 bunkers beside the site, and a large rabbit warren! This is the NW circle looking west (Thanks to Nick for the directions).

Shianbank NW submitted by rogerkread : A hard slog around the edge of a field to reach this site - if the headland had been even 20cm wider it would have been much easier! Well worth it, though. (Vote or comment on this photo)
