Log Text: The site is a bit of a mess and the grim housing estate all around doesn't help. Having said that, the inscriptions are worth looking at.
Breemie Stones
Date Added: 26th Feb 2012
Site Type: Modern Stone Circle etc
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2004. My rating: Access 3
Breemie Stones submitted by sacredway on 23rd Apr 2007. Looking over the granite recumbent and flankers towards the Barmekin Hill at Echt (hill fort remains on top of the Barmekin hill). Note the shape of the recumbent mimicks the shape of the Barmekin Hill and the distant Hill of Fare. It was aligned to this hill on its SW axis. The left flanker is about 6.5 feet tall.

Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2007. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 3
Broomend of Crichie Avenue submitted by golux on 13th Jan 2012. Once there were two stone circles here, joined to one another by an avenue of paired monoliths. Of this double row or "avenue" of maybe 80 stones, only 4 survive.
According to Maitland and other authorities a double line of stones about 18m apart extended from a point 450 yards south of the circle, where a number of cist burials were discovered, up to the circle and then on to a second circle (Broomend of Crichie North circle), an overall length of about 500 yards.

Broomend Of Crichie Stone Circle / Henge
Date Added: 26th Feb 2012
Site Type: Henge
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Oct 2007. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Broomend Of Crichie Stone Circle / Henge submitted by megalithicmatt on 30th Oct 2011. A section of Richard Bradley's excavation (ended Oct 2007) which shows a slightly elongated (8 x 8.5m) circle of post holes abutting the henge and built across the southern avenue line.
Bradley believed these could be evidence of a 'wood henge' since the post holes are larger than those of a conventional hut circle. If so, this would be the most northerly known one in Britain.

Log Text: Access from the north is a bit hazardous as a little quarry has to be avoided. The circle is pretty much destroyed but the overgrown cairn is visible in the centre. Great views all around.

Log Text: That's Fraser with an 's', not a 'z' and often called Balgorkar anyway. One of the stones was toppled by plough a couple of years ago but has since been re-erected. The same field has two other standing stones.

Clach na h'Annait submitted by kelpie on 27th Jul 2002. This standing stone appears in a field just off the road to Elgol. Apparently there is little known of its history or why it bears a connection to Annait on the other side of the island. NG 58954 20295
