| Tillytarmont 2 | Class I Pictish Symbol Stone | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 4th Aug 2015 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Site includes Tillytarmont 2 & 3 as well as the Redhill stone. All are weathered, but kind of pleasantly displayed in a garden-like setting. This is not the original location for any of the stones, but they were found nearby. | ||
| The Well of The Dead | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Scotland | Highlands | Visited | 8th Aug 2014 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Very interesting mystical well that just happened to be located where the battle of Culloden happened. The site of Alexander MacGillivray's, death. He was leading the Clan Chattan into battle against the royalist forces. | ||

Easy access from a couple of paths in the Strathpeffer village. The stone is weathered quite a bit, which is why I rate condition 3. The eagle is more difficult to see than in photos from 10-15 years ago. The horseshoe is still fairly sharp.

| Cloutie Well | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Scotland | Highlands | Visited | 30th Jul 2015 | 3 | 5 | 5 | Very easy to visit, well signed from the roadway. There is a parking area and several paths. I recommend going left and coming into the well counterclockwise. There is a wide range of cloth tied to the trees and if you are attentive, they can tell a bit of a story. There are also coins in the area w... Read More |

| Aberlemno | Standing Stones | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 10th Aug 2015 | 4 | 5 | 5 | At the car park across the street, you have easy access to the three stones. Mind the traffic as you cross and remember to continue to the kirk to see the stone there. |
