Log Text: Access is harder than it looks. It's right by the road, easily visible and with parking places. But there's a barbed wire fence which is difficult to get past. I found one end by the bridge was low enough to step over, then there's a steep hill down over rough ground with nettles, followed by a second barbed wire fence but with a wooden bit you can climb over. It may be a short walk but it's not that easy

The Langstane submitted by cosmic on 29th Mar 2004. The Langstane at NJ938059 is situated only 30m from one of Aberdeen's main thoroughfares at the junction of Dee Street and Lanstane Place. It is embedded into a recess at the back of a branch of a well known fastfood restaurant.
It appears close to its present site on G&W Paterson's 1746 map of Aberdeen but it is suspected that it may have been part of a stone circle on the West side of the Denburn. Another stone, the Crab Stane, appears on the same map.

Log Text: It's still in the same place and the same condition as previous visitors found it, but the commercial bins are now right next to it. In the middle of the city but unloved and unnoticed. A sad state for such a stone.

Log Text: The site:
Clearly a stone circle, with a large recumbent and many stones in a circle around it
All the stones are covered in moss.
There's a lot of small boulders around - lots underfoot within the circle which (I speculate) could be original. Several small boulders c20cm size on the perimeter - could these tiny stones really be original?
There's similar moss covered boulders in the adjacent dry stone wall, which makes me wonder if stones from the circle could've been stolen for the wall and if stones from the wall could've been added to the circle later.
There's smaller stones inside the circle - could there have been an inner ring?
Access:
I went off the private road off contlaw road. It has a sign saying "private" at the gate and another saying "CCTV" but it doesn't say keep out, it leads to several houses so isn't one persons driveway, so it should be ok to walk up. It definitely feels unwelcoming though
There is a new fence all the way around Binghill house. It cuts off the access road completely. So I walked alongside the fence, without a path, and fortunately the circle is between the fence and a stone boundary wall, so if becomes hard to miss.
I initially tried access from the East (Binghill Road) but that wasn't practical for me as there was a lot of vegetation and I had a bike.
Ambience:
There's no signs to indicate a stone circle, there was no one else in sight on this summer evening so it does feel like a hidden gem despite being right next to a populated area. People I know who live nearby didn't know it existed
But it has been visited : people have left shiny pebbles on the recumbent stone
It's in a wood and there's stumps in and right against the stones, but none within the circle now
