Nothing now is left of this RSC which was destroyed. The church, graveyard and walls all being placed on top of it. It's easy to see why the circle was built. Bennachie is clearly visible and less than ten miles away.

Leave the A96 at Colpy and take the A920 Oldmeldrum road. After a 1/2 mile take the first left. The ruined church is at the first corner which marks the start/end of the Lawrence Road.

Driven past every week.

Not much here but enough to let you know that the circle had a sad end. Info on page 90.
