**Candy** submitted by golux : Recorded in 1902 as being the sole survivor of a stone circle. The line of trees behind mark the boundary of the garden in which it stands, planted in 1978 by the owner (and builder) of the house, as he informed me. I would imagine that the name "Candy", the name of the farm around here, is derived from the same root as Knockandy Hill behind it. (:Cnoc" is gaelic for hill.) (Vote or comment on this photo)

Stone Circle in Aberdeenshire

Recorded in 1902 as being the sole survivor of a stone circle. The line of trees behind mark the boundary of the garden in which it stands, planted in 1978 by the owner (and builder) of the house, as he informed me. I would imagine that the name "Candy", the name of the farm around here, is derived from the same root as Knockandy Hill behind it. (:Cnoc" is gaelic for hill.)
