Sueno's Stone submitted by Cosmic on 9th Nov 2003. Another view of the Sueno Pictish Stone at NJ046595. The largest stone we've ever seen - enclosed in perspex case to protect it - only yards away from A96 Dual carriageway and yet how many people ever notice it?

King Arthur's Round Table submitted by h_fenton on 1st Oct 2010. King Arthur's Round Table.
I tried to fly the kite here but the wind was too inconsistent to safely get the camera high enough. Here instead of a kite I used a carp fishing pole, with a camera attachment on the end to lift my camera higher (6-7 metres).

Mayburgh
Date Added: 30th Oct 2024
Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Cumbria)
Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2023. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 4
Mayburgh submitted by wildtalents on 15th May 2024. The henge banks at Mayburgh were built up mainly using cobbles like those surrounding the one remaining megalith at the site. It's a really large structure and may have been a meeting point for many hundreds of people at a time. These days mainly sheep throng the henge. Image from spring 2023.

Log Text: I have loved checking this site out over the years. Recently, thinking about water made me wonder if it was a sacred site arrived at by boat and now I've been pondering stone circles as places where bodies were left to be eaten by scavengers I want to go back and see how that fits. Don't forget the bit by the pub too!

Jenny's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 12th Sep 2006. Water flows from a pipe in a curved ornamental wall with ‘Jenny’s Well’ spelled out in pebbles.
It is uncertain just who Jenny was but one source suggests that she was a lunatic woman. In the middle of the 20th century, pins and other small gifts were left at the well on the 1st of May.

St Drostan's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 13th Sep 2006. Heading east on the B9031 take a left turn (toward the sea) just before New Aberdour. The road passes Old Aberdour Church before ending in a carpark at the shingle beach. The well is just to the east of the carpark at the base of a hill.
St Drostan used the water of this spring to baptise local people and was famed for his miracle cures. St Drostan died at Glenesk in 809AD. His remains were conveyed from Glenesk to Aberdour where they were placed in a stone coffin and long believed to w...

Candy

Site Type: Stone Circle

Visited: Would like to visit
Candy submitted by golux on 20th Mar 2011. Recorded in 1902 as being the sole survivor of a stone circle. The line of trees behind mark the boundary of the garden in which it stands, planted in 1978 by the owner (and builder) of the house, as he informed me.
I would imagine that the name "Candy", the name of the farm around here, is derived from the same root as Knockandy Hill behind it. (:Cnoc" is gaelic for hill.)
