Bourtie Pictish Stone submitted by TheCaptain on 12th Oct 2018. The chapel is easy to find and there is room to park and just a short walk from there through a wooded area. High up on the south side of the Bourtie chapel, near the eastern end, is this pictish stone built into its wall. Symbols are hard to see, but parts of the carvings can be made out.

The Langstane
Date Added: 29th Oct 2019
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 12th Oct 2018
The Langstane submitted by TheCaptain on 12th Oct 2018. The Long Stone thought to have once been part of a stone circle, now presented in an alcove behind Burger King just off the main Aberdeen thoroughfare of Union Street, at the junction of Dee Street and Langstone Place.
The poor thing seems neglected amongst the bins and street signs, but at least it is still here.
