Tomnagorn submitted by Suncircle49 : Topography: 19 June 2018 09:10. Site set on a hilltop, views SW from the recumbent (azimuth 202°) across the valley, to the wooded ridge of ‘The Gates of Birselawsie’. See also topography of Aikey Brae.

Tomnagorn submitted by Suncircle49 : 19 June 2018 09:10. A blustery morning on an exposed grassy hilltop, but with splendid panoramic views. Standing together the recumbent and its east flanker, with sadly the remains of the west flanker. The east flanker’s top is grooved and partially missing, similar to the flanker at Hatton of Ardoyne, and Fraser Castle.
