Craighead Badentoy submitted by SandyG : View from the north west (21st February 2015). (Vote or comment on this photo)
Craighead Badentoy is a reconstructed Four Poster in Aberdeenshire.

All four stones have metal rings attached to their lower faces. The north eastern one has also been split using a drill. The drill mark is still clearly visible leading from one face to another.
