Lundin Farm submitted by hamish on 27th May 2005. Once you have braved the wooden plank to reach here it is well worth it.

Macbeth's Stone
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 8th Jun 2005
Macbeth's Stone submitted by hamish on 8th Jun 2005. This is a truly magnificent stone. Although nothing to do with Macbeth it is a worthy tribute to one of Scotlands greatest Kings. Macbeth law underpins much of Scots Law and he did reign unopposed - except by the Norse - for seventeen years.

Shealwalls
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Jun 2005
Shealwalls submitted by hamish on 22nd Jun 2005. I had just been to Park Neuk and thought I would try and find this circle. So drive past Newton of Bamff going towards the B954, there is quite a dip in the road. Park here and go through the gate on the left, follow the footpath to the right. At the top of the slope walk for about 150mtrs keeping a lookout to the right and nestled in the long grass is this little "four poster"?? There aren't any other stones around so hopefully this is it. It is very difficult to locate.

Gleneagles A submitted by hamish on 23rd Jun 2005. I took this picture, including the phone mast erectors, and ran out of film so couldn't take another one. Maybe another time.
Interesting stone though, there are some markings on the right side.

Site Type: Standing Stones
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jul 2005
Craigmakerran submitted by hamish on 6th Jul 2005. Go to this site after Blackfaulds, but go there by the main road. The lane from Blackfaulds farm is not for the faint hearted. The stones are at the end of an arm of Blairmuir woods and are just inside the fence. There are lots of stones in the area but only two big ones. I can't find my picture of the other one.

Bandirran submitted by hamish on 6th Jul 2005. This is the largest of the three stones, large but not easy to find.

Broughdearg
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2005
Broughdearg submitted by hamish on 15th Jul 2005. I followed Nick's advice and walked to the farm. Park by the track gate but expect some interest this is a fishing river,"poachers".
The farmer is a bit amused at any interest in "auld stanes" so be prepared to be patronised.

Straloch submitted by hamish on 15th Jul 2005. This is the Straloch Stone where I was stalked by two vicious steers. (See humour section) It is a great stone though and worth a visit if you are in the area.

Fowlis Wester West submitted by hamish on 18th Jul 2005. This is the stone circle much in confusion. Easy to get to though, small carpark and short walk.

Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 18th Jul 2005
Croft House Stone submitted by hamish on 18th Jul 2005. This stone is about half way between Enochdhu and Stralloch. You can park on the verge but safer at Tulloch Guest House just down the road if you ask. The stone is on the opposite side.

Tullybannocher submitted by hamish on 23rd Jul 2005. It's easy to miss this one, I stopped in a field gateway to look at the map glanced round and there it was in that field. It was a four poster by repute but only two remain. Nick thinks there are cupmarks on the stones but not so sure myself.

The Boat Stone

Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 23rd Jul 2005
The Boat Stone submitted by hamish on 23rd Jul 2005. After you have been to Sherriffmuir Stones keep on up the road. Don't try to find Wester Briggs Circle, it's hidden in the heather. Just down the road past the woods on the left is the Boat Stone. You have to clamber over the stone wall with a barbed wire topping to get to this stone. Nearly broke my leg but survived.

Spittal of Glenshee Standing Stone submitted by hamish on 23rd Jul 2005. This is the sight you get of the stone as you slip and slide 2 up 1 down on the steep slope. The views are great all round. You can think about the fine malt waiting for you at the Spittal as you slide back down to the bottom.

Enochdhu submitted by hamish on 24th Jul 2005. After you have been to Balnabroich stones carry along the road towards Enochdhu, just past the houses on the right is the Wester Enochdhu stone. It is just off the road among the trees, a lovely stone by a quiet road.
