Auldearn Stone Circle submitted by Cosmic on 8th Jan 2004. I was only able to find these two stones in a garden. This is supposed to be a stone circle, but unfortunately there was no one at home to ask for information.

Balnuaran of Clava (Stone) submitted by Cosmic on 6th Jan 2004. NH758446
Standing stone to East of Balnuaran of Clava Cairns - only about two hundred yards away but not on OS Map.
Access is along a long straight country lane (from the East, West end blocked off) that was probably drive way to a big house - trees either side.
Stone itself about six feet high.

Log Text: Seen from the road on the drive to the Clava Cairn carpark & then again from the picnic area near on the other side of the carpark from the stones. Gorgeous flat face and was light up quite beautifully by the setting sun.

Sueno's Stone submitted by Cosmic on 9th Nov 2003. Another view of the Sueno Pictish Stone at NJ046595. The largest stone we've ever seen - enclosed in perspex case to protect it - only yards away from A96 Dual carriageway and yet how many people ever notice it?
