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.

Tyrebagger
Date Added: 31st Oct 2024

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?

Whitehawk submitted by Andy B on 3rd Jul 2024. On 14th May 2024 I visited the Neolithic Cannibals art installation and exhibition in Brighton created by sound artist Simon James and pupils from local schools up on the estate at Whitehawk. Simon explains: Lots of people ask why we called it Neolithic Cannibals. I discovered some historical 'othering' in the language used by an archaeologist to describe the Neolithic community on Whitehawk Hill, which reminded me how some of the students in less well off areas of Brighton get looked down on. A...

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.

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?

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 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.
