Unlike down south the data coverage for Scotland is limited. Mainly areas with flood risk as it was commissioned by/for SEPA. The few hillforts I've come across look OK but stone circles are tricky due to either resolution or me being rubbish at it. juamei - it will be great to see how you get on with QGIS. Do you have access to different resolution data sets? I wonder if they are better quality than the ones up here? I've upload a quick image of 4 sites to give an idea of the resolution of stones from circles I'm getting. There's probably better out there as I'm a bit clueless with these sort of things. https://500px.com/photo/253366711/lidar-by-spaceways Bottom left - Loudon Wood RSC - Just make out a few stones and circle shape in the clearing. Top Left - Aikey Brae RSC - Not bad at all. You can see stones and the recumbent. Top Right - Clava Cairns - You can see the stones round the bottom of the NE cairn best Bottom Right - A Hillfort - Just added to show probably what Lidar is best for. any guesses which one (clue - it's in southern Scotland)?
