Backhill Of Drachlaw
Date Added: 30th Oct 2024
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Backhill Of Drachlaw submitted by cosmic on 22nd Mar 2004. Backhill of Drachlaw at NJ673463 in Aberdeenshire is rated as an Grade One Circle by Burl but personally on this trip I consider Yonder Bognie as more impressive. The stones are unusual in being basaltic with veins of pebbles in them - see close-up.
The farmer admitted to having dumped a rogue stone in the circle - I'll have to go back for another look!
Just under 300m away to the NNE is the huge Carlin Stone reckoned by Fred Cole to be the recumbent of another circle - personally I think...

Log Text: Lovely to visit at midnight in the moonlight. Took the wrong turning off the roundabout and ended up there! Access is ok, first there's parking at the end of the bumpy lane and a box asking for donations to make the road better then there's a walk up a track.

Tyrebagger
Date Added: 31st Oct 2024
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Tyrebagger submitted by Suncircle49 on 15th Aug 2022. Collection of photos of the recumbent 16-21/6/19: Canmore describes Tyrebagger with ‘a fallen recumbent’, but my first impressions, it’s a ‘Dolmen’. The recumbent and its flanker’s are very different to any existing RSC in Aberdeenshire. Its alternative name DYCE which is very similar to DYSSE meaning ‘Dolmen’. A recumbent on stone mounts…. a Dolmen?

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.

Log Text: The cows here were funny - every time I looked they froze, every time i went back to my RSC meditations they advanced. We made a meal of getting to the circle, climbing over some walls and fences. There's prob an easier way. A farm that used to be derelict has now been converted into residential so maybe that was the old parking spot.
