Country: Scotland (Angus)
Visited: Yes on 30th Jun 2024. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Tealing Souterrain submitted by Nick on 5th Nov 2002. Tealing is just north of Dundee on the A929. Turn into the village and follow the road round, and look for the signpost.

Log Text: I was looking for a reservoir (English) when Reservoir (German) could mean water tank. I was a bit confused by the lack of a Stausee in the area. I think the row may be in the bit of woods that extend to the west just after the Y junction i the path.

There is an about 6 meter diameter tumulus around the Dolmen. The dolmen was heavily restored in the 1970's, but still has a really nice atmostphere.
The "soul Hole" of the Toten Mann Dolmen looks straight at the Buehlhoetzle Menhir from 550 Meters away up a small hill.

St-Pierre-Quiberon Alignement submitted by thecaptain on 12th Jun 2006. Out on the Quiberon Peninsula, near to the Kerbourgnec cromlech can be found a pleasant little park with the remains of these alignements in it.
The stones are of all shapes and sizes, up to 4 metres tall. There's a lovely curved "sharks fin" in front of me as I sat and wrote this, and a diamond to my right. These stones are wonderful, and its lovely to be able to just sit amongst them.

Log Text: Even after losing menhirs to St. Just and Pipriac, this village seems dotted with them. Unfortunately, due to the widening of the D177 we weren't able to get to some we had seen on the satellite pictures.

Log Text: Not much to see - we had to walk back and forth along the road for a while to try to determine which pile of rocks was the most likely to be the remains of a megalithic site. This one is located just inside a pasture.
