Easter Aquhorthies
Date Added: 19th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 30th Jul 2010
Easter Aquhorthies submitted by Runemage on 30th Jul 2010. Much is said about the composition of the pink stone at Easter Aquhorthies but I've not been able to find out exactly what it's made from. It's often referred to as Red Jasper or Rose Quartz and less commonly Porphyry. The crystal laid on it for colour-comparison is six and a half inch long haemetite quartz which has itself a delicate pinky-peachy hue.
Note to self, next time you go, take some unpolished rose quartz for comparison!
Are there any geologists out there who know what this stone...

Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings
Date Added: 8th Mar 2011
Site Type: Rock Art
Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2006. My rating: Condition 3
Drumtroddan Cup and Ring Markings submitted by rockartuk on 20th Aug 2001. On a fenced outcrop, 200m South of the farm (NX 362 447), R.W.B. Morris counted 84 cup-and-rings (1979). This photo was taken in 1993 with the carvings still clear. However, in 2000 the marks turned very faint. Acid rain? The question of preservation (after about 5000 years!) is now actual as well as urgent. How?

Log Text: It's quite a walk from the parking area at the farm, not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The largest easily-accessible outcrop with RA I've seen. There was a large herd of bullocks to walk through which some folks find intimidating.
