| St Mary's Well (Rothsay) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Scotland | Isle of Bute | Visited | 25th Sep 2017 | 2 | 3 | 5 | St. Mary's Well, Rothsay: Almost immediately across the road from St Mary's Chapel, set into a dry stone wall and very sadly neglected. There is no outlet but the remains of a metal tethering ring for a cup or ladle is still embedded in the arch. Worth a walk across from the chapel to take a look. | 51 | 1 |
| Airthrey Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Stirling | Visited | 26th Sep 2017 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Airthrey Castle Standing Stone, Stirling University: I have visited the University of Stirling on a number of occasions over the years, visiting an organisation at the Beta Innovation Park, but not known (until I saw them on the Portal) that there were standing stones within the grounds.
We parked at the Wallace Monument, thinking it would be quick half hour walk around Stirling University Campus. Wrong! From the car park, we walked east up ... Read More |

| St Blane's Well | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Isle of Bute | Visited | 25th Sep 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | St. Blane's Well, Isle of Bute: After St. Mary’s Chapel and Well, we made our way to the south end of the island, by which time the mist was starting to come in from the sea. There is a layby at NS 09299 53076 for around 6 cars at the start of the path uphill to the chapel. I was very disappointed to find quite a few other visitors there. They must have done what we did, and made their way straight to the south end of the island to work their ... Read More |

| Logie Old Kirk (Stirling) | Early Christian Sculptured Stone | Scotland | Stirling | Visited | 26th Sep 2017 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Hogbacks at Logie Old Kirk, Stirling: To reach the church from the University Halls of Residence, we had to walk through the gardener’s compound/offices. The top two gates around the churchyard were locked; the actual entrance was next to the small stone building to the south of the churchyard, near the stream, with an information board by a small car park, so there is access from the main road.
The churchyard is full of wonderful (morbid!)... Read More |

| St Blane's Chapel (Isle of Bute) | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Isle of Bute | Visited | Cross base/socket stone, St. Blane's Chapel, Isle of Bute: Whilst I was wandering through the ruins of the chapel and photographing it, husband Andrew was in search of this sandstone socket in the lower churchyard. In the end, it was easy to find – head south out of the ruins, into the upper churchyard, down the steps, and it is virtually in front of you to your left hand side. I confess that without the Canmore record, I might have very well m... Read More |

| Pathfoot Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Stirling | Visited | 26th Sep 2017 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Pathfoot Standing Stone, University of Stirling: Walking back across the campus from Logie Old Church, we got caught in a very heavy shower of rain and had to shelter by the student residences at the western side of the campus.
When I caught sight of this, I thought this was a sculpture, not a real standing stone at first. It is at the side of Armitage Road, just north of its’ (busy) junction with Grange Road at the north western side of th... Read More |
