| Upper Ord | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 28th Apr 2011 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Visited this site many times - ancient landscapes all around. | ||
| Wideford Hill | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 1st Jun 2011 | 5 | 4 | 3 | The cairn was waterlogged and the site torch's batteries were dead, so didn't go in. Hopefully will next time! | ||
| Garrol Wood | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 10th Oct 2011 | 3 | 4 | 4 | More commonly known as the Nine Stanes. | ||
| Auchquhorthies | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd Jan 2012 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Vista marred by pylon lines nearby. | ||
| Midmar Kirk N | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 5th Nov 2011 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Massive, leans over ominously. | ||
| Inschfield | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 29th Nov 2008 | Visited many times - excellent views of Bennachie. | |||||
| Kirkton Of Bourtie | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 31st Jul 2009 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Superb views over Garioch. | ||
| Image Wood | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 26th Aug 2007 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Lovely atmosphere. The circle's origins are somewhat suspicious though. | ||
| Cothiemuir Wood | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd May 2009 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Beautiful. | ||
| New Craig | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd Jun 2008 | 2 | 4 | 4 | A Spectacular wreck. Another stone stands in the woods behind and there are cup-marked rocks in the fields nearby. | ||
| Candle Hill | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 9th Feb 2009 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Access from the north is a bit hazardous as a little quarry has to be avoided. The circle is pretty much destroyed but the overgrown cairn is visible in the centre. Great views all around. | ||
| Dunnideer Circle | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Nov 2011 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Half-hidden by the trees. | ||
| Arbor Low 1 | Stone Circle | England | Derbyshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2005 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Visited in the middle of a thunderstorm - didn't see much for the rain! | ||
| Unstan | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 1st Jul 2011 | 5 | 4 | 5 | I supposethe aspect is marred somewhat by the proximity of the car park. | ||
| Stonehead | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Aug 2008 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Big. | ||
| Stenness | Stone Circle | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 22nd Jun 2011 | 4 | 5 | 5 | Want to go back. | ||
| Watch Stone (Orkney) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 22nd Jun 2011 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Right beside the road. | ||
| Maes Howe | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 22nd Jun 2011 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Second visit - better tour guide this time! | ||
| Old Rayne | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 21st Jan 2008 | 2 | 2 | 5 | In a sorry state. Someone tried to smash up the recumbent too. | ||
| Ring of Brodgar | Stone Circle | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 22nd Jun 2011 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Very busy unfortunately, plus the paths are well worn and detracting. Best to get there on a winter's evening I think. | ||
| Dwarfie Stane | Rock Cut Tomb | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 10th Jul 2008 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Wow! There's enough room inside to lie down. | ||
| Duddo Five Stones | Stone Circle | England | Northumberland | Visited | 8th Apr 2005 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Very rushed visit. Don't remember much. | ||
| Skara Brae | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 1st Jun 2011 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Nice, but the tourist focus and access detracts from the experience. | ||
| Esslie The Greater | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 10th Oct 2011 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Very big. | ||
| Rothiemay | Stone Circle | Scotland | Moray | Visited | 23rd Sep 2011 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Lovely recumbent. Quite fun trying to find all the cup marks. | ||
| Old Keig | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 29th Dec 2007 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Often shady in amongst the trees. Would be good to see it on a very bright day. | ||
| The Gowk Stane | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 9th Mar 2008 | 4 | 3 | 3 | View would once have been good but nearby developments have rendered it a bit dull. | ||
| Nether Corskie Stone Circle | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 15th Jan 2012 | 2 | 5 | 3 | Woo! Massive stones! They look deceptively small from the road. | ||
| South Ley Lodge | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 15th Jan 2012 | 3 | 3 | 4 | More irritating pylon lines. The stones are unusually small. | ||
| Castle Fraser circle | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 15th Jan 2012 | 3 | 4 | 3 | That's Fraser with an 's', not a 'z' and often called Balgorkar anyway. One of the stones was toppled by plough a couple of years ago but has since been re-erected. The same field has two other standing stones. | ||
| South Fornet | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 15th Jan 2012 | 2 | 4 | 3 | On a hilltop with great views, this much-maligned site is a nice place to visit. | ||
| Sand Wick Burial Ground | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Shetland | Visited | 28th Aug 2006 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Found accidently, no-one around to talk to. | ||
| Uyea Breck | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Shetland | Visited | 28th Aug 2006 | 4 | 5 | 5 | Very nice. | ||
| Fullerton | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Saw from a distance | 2nd Oct 2007 | 2 | 3 | Drove past this site every two or three days for three years but never saw it up close. | |||
| Broomend Of Crichie Stone Circle / Henge | Henge | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 4th Oct 2007 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Participated in two of Richard Bradley's excavations here, thus hard not to picture it de-turfed and dug up. | ||
| Balquhain | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Sep 2010 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Pronounced 'Balwheen' or 'Balwhine' depending on who you talk to. The circle is a bit average but the quartz pillar and the view are the main reasons to visit. | ||
| Barmekin of Echt | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd May 2008 | 3 | 5 | 3 | A kind of cross between the hillforts of Barra and Newleslie but with the best view. | ||
| Hatton Of Ardoyne | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 28th Dec 2008 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Good on a misty day. | ||
| Johnston, The Ringing Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 24th Feb 2008 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Didn't ring, but I didn't want to hit it too hard either.... | ||
| Loanend | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 7th Mar 2008 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Often referred to as the 'Hawk Hill' circle. Must be wearily approached across fields of trippable neeps and curious coos. | ||
| Westerton of Petmathen | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 20th Dec 2008 | 4 | 4 | 3 | Hidden from the road by the odd shapes of the hillside. Pretty massive when seen up-close. | ||
| South Lediken | Cairn | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 5th Sep 2008 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Lovely atmosphere. | ||
| Druidstone (Brackla) | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 25th May 2008 | 2 | 2 | 3 | Kind of hard to get a measure on this site as lots of clearance rubble is mixed in with it. | ||
| Auld Kirk O Tough | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 29th Oct 2011 | 2 | 4 | 2 | Longish walk uphill needed to get there from the Corrennie Wood minor road. The site is very small and damaged from earthworks and a drystane dyke. Met an old farmer there who reminisced about long winters 70 years ago. | ||
| Binghill | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 11th Nov 2011 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Used to live a few minutes from this site. Recumbent is short and squat; other stones are stumpy and some are hidden in bushes. Lots of deer live in the woods. | ||
| Esslie The Lesser | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 10th Oct 2011 | 2 | 2 | 3 | Covered in field clearance and gorse - hard to make out. | ||
| North Strone | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 5th Nov 2011 | 4 | 5 | 3 | A complete circle, how rare! The stones are extremely small and the hilltop is extremely windy. | ||
| Castlerigg | Stone Circle | England | Cumbria | Visited | 1st Jan 2004 | 4 | 5 | 5 | Great site! | ||
| Nine Ladies | Stone Circle | England | Derbyshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2004 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Vague memories of rumbling around here. | ||
| Buttony 4 | Rock Art | England | Northumberland | Visited | 1st Jan 2004 | 5 | 5 | 3 | Remember these being very clear on the rock. | ||
| Clickhimin | Broch or Nuraghe | Scotland | Shetland | Visited | 31st Aug 2005 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Brief visit, surprised it was so well preserved. | ||
| Barnhouse Settlement | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 1st Jun 2011 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Rebuilt and made all spick-and-span... | ||
| Barnhouse Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Orkney | Saw from a distance | 1st Jun 2011 | 4 | 3 | Looks good from far off, wish I had time to get in close. | |||
| Broch of Breckness | Broch or Nuraghe | Scotland | Orkney | Visited | 16th Jun 2008 | 1 | 2 | 3 | Couldn't see anything... | ||
| Sueno's Stone | Class III Pictish Cross Slab | Scotland | Moray | Visited | 1st Jan 2004 | 4 | 3 | 5 | Gigantinormous. | ||
| Dun Telve | Broch or Nuraghe | Scotland | Highlands | Visited | 13th Sep 2005 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Brief visit in the rain. Grey grey greyness... | ||
| Clachtoll Broch | Broch or Nuraghe | Scotland | Highlands | Visited | 23rd Jun 2011 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Been up here a couple of times, first in a downpour and the second in the sun! There is an ancient drystane dyke running out of Clachtoll near the broch. The broch itself is a bit of a mess but a good visit all the same. | ||
| Brae of Achnahaird | Stone Fort or Dun | Scotland | Highlands | Couldn't find | 1st Jan 2005 | 4 | 3 | Couldn't see it but I don't think I was trying all that hard. | |||
| Dunadd Fort | Hillfort | Scotland | Argyll | Visited | 1st Sep 2005 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Saw the footprint and watched the sunset. | ||
| Kilmartin Churchyard | Sculptured Stone | Scotland | Argyll | Visited | 29th May 2005 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Pottered around and looked at the gravestones. | ||
| Aberlemno | Standing Stones | Scotland | Angus | Visited | 30th May 2005 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Picturesque setting despite being right by the road! | ||
| Ardlair (Circle) | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 21st Sep 2011 | 2 | 3 | 3 | I think Julian Cope described the recumbent as looking like a 'smashed tank' or somesuch similar thing. Definitely appropriate as the ruins of the rest of the site looks like a battlefield. | ||
| Braehead Circle | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Couldn't find | 29th Mar 2008 | 3 | Stopped to soon at a clearnce cairn, didn't know about the recumbent over the hill! | ||||
| Ellon. | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2005 | 2 | 2 | 5 | Brief visit as we looked at how unoriginal it appeared... | ||
| Huntly | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2010 | 2 | 2 | 5 | Two small stones remaining out of about six. One used to have Pictish symbols (now lost to erosion). They stand beneath the statue in the town square. | ||
| Wantonwells | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2009 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Visited many times. Impressive views of Dunnydeer and Bennachie. | ||
| Auchlee Circle | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Couldn't find | 2nd Jan 2012 | 3 | Lost to the gorse - didn't bring shears or a flamethrower, so couldn't get in. | ||||
| Wardhouse | Ancient Village or Settlement | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Saw from a distance | 1st Jan 2007 | 4 | 3 | Picturesque setting. | |||
| Tap o'Noth | Hillfort | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 29th Apr 2011 | 3 | 5 | 2 | Visited loads of times. Great place, great views, great walls, great walk up. | ||
| Dunnideer Fort | Vitrified Fort | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Nov 2011 | 3 | 5 | 3 | Used to live in Insch so I could see the hill every day! Great walk up to the top and I like looking out for the old post hole in the vitrified wall on the north side. | ||
| Crab's Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2004 | 2 | 2 | 3 | Must be harder to reach by now owing to a newish fence erected along the length of the hill. | ||
| Cat Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd Apr 2011 | 3 | 3 | 3 | The easiest one to reach from the town. | ||
| Cairn o'Mount | Cairn | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2009 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Vistatastic. | ||
| Hillhead of Clatt | Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2009 | 1 | 3 | 3 | Futile attempt to find anything promising. | ||
| Tomnagorn | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 29th Oct 2011 | 4 | 4 | 3 | It has all of its stones! The site is quite shady and almost surrounded by trees. Access can be had from the farm down the hill. | ||
| Sunhoney | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd May 2009 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Lovely place. | ||
| Tyrebagger | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2003 | 3 | 5 | 3 | 2003 was the last proper visit, but I saw it from Dyce a couple of months ago. Very magical place that still feels ancient even as you watch the planes taking off below. | ||
| Cullerlie | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2007 | 5 | 3 | 5 | Another 'santised' circle, this one is however pretty unique and worth a visit, especially if the friendly farm dog is lurking nearby. | ||
| Corrstone Wood | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 26th Jun 2007 | 2 | 4 | 3 | Nice place and a good walk up. Great view of Tap O' Noth too. | ||
| Mither Tap | Hillfort | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Sep 2011 | 4 | 4 | 2 | Partially rebuilt but still feels somewhat authentic and it has the best views in Aberdeenshire. | ||
| Mill o'Noth | Standing Stones | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Saw from a distance | 1st Sep 2007 | 3 | 4 | The closest I've been is on the Castleton farm road but the stones are highly visible coming down the Cottown road and out along the Huntly road. | |||
| Brandsbutt | Class I Pictish Symbol Stone | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2004 | 2 | 2 | 5 | The site is a bit of a mess and the grim housing estate all around doesn't help. Having said that, the inscriptions are worth looking at. | ||
| Maiden Stone (Aberdeenshire) | Class II Pictish Symbol Stone | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2009 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Covered up by a box during winter - go during the sunnier months! | ||
| Bieldside | Cairn | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2011 | 5 | 2 | 5 | Very large cairn. The view of the hills past the estate isn't too bad. | ||
| Loanhead Of Daviot | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Nov 2011 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Complicated site with the cemetery neighbouring it. | ||
| Wheedlemont | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd Apr 2011 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Close to Upper Ord and Wheedlemont Hill, Rhynie is one of my favourite places, so I do like these stones very much. | ||
| Culsh | Souterrain (Fogou, Earth House) | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2010 | 4 | 5 | 5 | Fun place to crawl around in. | ||
| Tomnaverie | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 26th Aug 2007 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Precariously perched but what a stunning scene! Beautiful recumbent setting. | ||
| Rhynie 2 | Class I Pictish Symbol Stone | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd Apr 2011 | 3 | 2 | 5 | Set in the side of Rhynie square with its partner. | ||
| Broomend of Crichie Pictish Symbol Stone | Class I Pictish Symbol Stone | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2008 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Great stone, symbols are very clear and sharp. | ||
| Lang Stane o' Craigearn | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Saw from a distance | 15th Jan 2012 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Keep wanting to visit this: can see it from the road (it's huge!) but my 'driver' never wants to park nearby... | ||
| Whitehill Stone Circle | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2003 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Nice walk in, atmospheric site. | ||
| The Langstane | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 20th Jan 2012 | 2 | 2 | 5 | Hard to miss when you're an Aberdonian. It's often thought that the Langstane and the nearby Crabstane have been given each other's names. | ||
| Tuack | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Mar 2011 | 2 | 2 | 3 | Participated in Richard Bradley's excavation there for about a week. (He calls it 'Tuach', BTW). | ||
| Lang Stane (Aberdeen) | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2003 | 4 | 2 | 5 | Big. Stands in the middle of an estate. | ||
| Tullos Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd Apr 2011 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Sprawling dessicated mass. | ||
| Baron's Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd Apr 2011 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Actually quite nice. | ||
| Liggar's Stane | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 2nd Jun 2008 | 2 | 1 | 5 | Somewhat disappointed by the size. Uncertain if it's even the correct stone... | ||
| Hill of Barra | Hillfort | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 31st Jul 2008 | 3 | 4 | 3 | Covers quite a big area. Earthworks are fairly visible. | ||
| Castle Fraser Row | Stone Row / Alignment | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 15th Jan 2012 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Tall. In the middle of a cultivated field though. | ||
| Hill of Christ's Kirk | Hillfort | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 6th Dec 2008 | 1 | 4 | 3 | Despite repeated visits I've never seen any earthworks on this hill. | ||
| Breemie Stones | Modern Stone Circle etc | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2004 | 3 | Modern but still quite interesting. | ||||
| Woods of Dunnottar Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 21st Oct 2006 | 2 | 4 | 3 | That's a big cairn... | ||
| Raedykes Roman Camp | Hillfort | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Couldn't find | 27th Mar 2011 | 4 | 3 | Note: don't rely on friend's innaccurate iphone GPS. Bring a real map instead. | |||
| Midmar Kirk S | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 5th Nov 2011 | 3 | 4 | 5 | One of the best known sites in Aberdeenshire. | ||
| Picardy Stone | Class I Pictish Symbol Stone | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2009 | 4 | 3 | 5 | Good stone, pity about the metal railing surround. | ||
| Mummer's Reive | Cairn | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Saw from a distance | 1st Jan 2008 | 3 | 3 | One of those I never quite got round to visiting. Could see it from the road. | |||
| Forvie Sands Flint Workings | Ancient Mine, Quarry or other Industry | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2010 | 2 | 3 | 3 | All very visible. | ||
| Forvie 'Stone Circle' | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2010 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Two circles side-by-side and close to several cairns. | ||
| Marischal Museum | Museum | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2008 | I miss it! | |||||
| Easter Aquhorthies | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Sep 2010 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Oft-visited circle. | ||
| Archaeolink | Museum | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 1st Jan 2008 | It was always pretty naff, to be honest. And the price! Turned up for the wickerman each Samhain though. | |||||

| Loudon Wood | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 19th Apr 2013 | 3 | 4 | 2 | Nice place to visit... if you can find it. First time to this circle - forgot to take the OS map (not good). Note for next time - ignore the directional sign by the car park. | ||
| Aikey Brae | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 19th Apr 2013 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Lovely stone circle - very peaceful. | ||
| Memsie Burial Cairn | Cairn | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 20th Apr 2013 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Gigantic. | ||

| Dun Beag (Loch Slapin) | Stone Fort or Dun | Scotland | Isle of Skye | Visited | 1st May 2014 | 1 | 3 | 3 | The dun itself is not very recognisable until you're on top of it. There's a small stone shelter in the trees behind it (using stones robbed from the site?). Igneous dykes cut through the promontory offering a form of natural barrier defence to the north.
Fantastic views out into Torrin bay and t... Read More |

| Suardal | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Isle of Skye | Visited | 1st May 2014 | 2 | 4 | 5 | Easily seen on the horizon when coming up Strath Suardal. | ||
| Dun Rodil | Broch or Nuraghe | Scotland | Isle of Harris | Visited | 13th Sep 2015 | 2 | 3 | 3 | Walked up from the curve in the road, the way was quite boggy. Didn't stay more than five minutes as it was very rainy and windy, so bad that there was a threat of being blown off the top!
Hard to discern much in the way of structure in the ruins, though there did appear to be a small semi-circular... Read More |

| Altlarie | Cairn | Scotland | Moray | Visited | 19th Jun 2021 | 1 | 3 | 4 | This rounded hillock lies within Newtonmore's Highland Folk Museum. The site is free to access. One lower side of the hillock has been truncated by the railway. The top is flattened off with the vague outline of a building on top out of which trees are growing. There are some exposed stones on the e... Read More |
