Site Type: Stone Circle

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.)

Cairn Ennit submitted by Klingon on 21st Nov 2005. It isn't clear if this is "Cairn Ennit" or "Whitehill Wood".
I hate barbed wire! There were three fences successively within one meter.

Yonder Bognie
Date Added: 30th Oct 2024
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Yonder Bognie Warden submitted by cosmic on 22nd Mar 2004. Yonder_Bognie at NJ601458 in Aberdeenshire is rated by Burl as a Class 3 Circle but I felt it deserves more due to its impressive recumbent.
The recumbent at about nine feet long by five feet high is almost flat on top and is one of the most impressive I've seen. The circle especially to the west side seems to have some rogue stones dumped into it - there is a profusion of stones around the perimeter of the neighbouring fields!
The owner lives at Kirkland Farm and seemed happy for me to vi...

St Drostan's Well
Date Added: 2nd Feb 2025
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
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...

Backhill Of Drachlaw
Date Added: 30th Oct 2024

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...

Binn Hill submitted by wiccaman9 on 26th Nov 2007. Binn Hill Cairn,
Very difficult to find at the best of times, very overgrown with bracken. Littered with numerous boulders and stones however, revealing the cairn's identity, within the dense forest
