h_fenton visited on 23rd Sep 2010 - their rating: Amb: 3 Access: 3 Visited Wildshaw Burn stone circle as it was getting light, occasionaly surrounded by hill fog; the ground oozing water after heavy overnight rain. Most of the stones (I found 22) were submerged in puddles, a few others above the peaty ground were lying on their sides. Apart from a lost pair of glasses there were no obvious signs of modern human activity on the site - but still it was not exactly serene, on one side there is the hum of great electricity pylons and the other the M74 motorway.
Not the easiest site to find, but it is where it is marked on the map
Canmore site no. 46425.
