There was room to pull the car onto the grass verge next to the tumble-down gate into the field, which we managed to squeeze our way round the edge, as it hadn’t been opened in many a year.

| Traprain Law | Hillfort | Scotland | East Lothian | Saw from a distance | 27th Sep 2017 | 2 | 5 | 3 | Traprain Law Hillfort, East Lothian: We only saw this from afar. It would have taken too long to climb up and get back down and see the rest of the sites we wanted to see this afternoon. Brilliant view. The farmer’s wife from Standingstone Farm told us there were wild Exmoor ponies living on to... Read More |

| Standingstone (East Lothian) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | East Lothian | Visited | 27th Sep 2017 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Standingstone Standing Stone, East Lothian: As we pulled up outside the Standingstone farm house, a lady and her black pug came out of the farmyard. I apologised for turning up out of the blue, but did she know about the standing stone, and she said ‘yes’, asked if I knew where it was, and walk... Read More |

| White Castle Fort | Hillfort | Scotland | East Lothian | Visited | 27th Sep 2017 | 3 | 4 | 5 | White Castle Hillfort, East Lothian: This is in a wild and lonely spot. As we approached the hillfort, the mist started to roll in over the Thorter Burn Valley, the wind got up and whipped spots of rain across our faces.
I was amazed to be able to park right by the gate, where there were interpr... Read More |

| The Chesters | Hillfort | Scotland | East Lothian | Visited | 27th Sep 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The Chesters Hillfort, East Lothian: Most places we drove past today had signposts to The Chesters, so reluctant to go back to the house before dark, we decided to stop off and look at this hillfort, which I thought must have been visited by many other Portal users/members, but only uisdean has subm...

| West Cowden | Stone Row / Alignment | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Visited | 28th Sep 2017 | 2 | 3 | 5 | The Roman Stone, Comrie: Approaching Comrie from the south along the B827, we’d passed these stones at the eastern side of the road before we’d realised it, so ended up stopping for lunch and visiting the motte first. We retraced our steps and managed to park in the entrance to another (gated) ... Read More |
