Gask Stone Circle
Gask Stone Circle submitted by cosmic : Gask - the three stones (Vote or comment on this photo)
Stone Circle in Aberdeenshire

There are three stones set in a triangular location, Canmore 19396 refers to two stones from one circle and one from another, they can be found in the second field from the road, I visited just after harvest so parked in the first field and walked to the second, access when field is planted could be difficult.
