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.

Forvie 'Stone Circle'

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2010. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 3
Forvie 'Stone Circle' submitted by golux on 23rd May 2010. When I visited the given location all I found was this marker confirming I was indeed at the exact spot - but there was no stone circle to be seen. Could it be that the alleged stone circle is actually one of the hut circles or cairns listed on this site?
This whole area is closed from April to August to protect the birdlife so I guess I will have to have another look in wintertime.

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.
