| I've been to a lot of stone circles but this one is amongst my favourites, you can park quite near, the surrounding scenery is just beautiful, the stones seem to be picked for there ability to reach inside you and stick in your memory for ages, I really love this one. I'd drive all night just to see this one little four poster and it would be well worth it, I'll be back again and again . |

Thursday 1 May 2003 Lundin Farm was another circle I'd visited before. I was particularly keen to see this one again though, as on the previous visit I'd had to quickly nip the dog back to the car when what seemed like a pack of baying hounds flew down the farm road towards us. (There were probably 2!) Having a Ginger John with you certainly seems to work better, as we were able to properly examine the 'main' 4 poster, the various probable fallen stones and the cupmarked stone. We were also able to gaze across into the neighbouring field (on the same side, slightly further up the lane) at the stones that Burl calls a ruined 'second Four-Poster'. The field was fenced off and we didn't want to push our luck! It could well be, though on my photo taken with a 300mm lens it looks a bit more complex than Burl's description. Field clearance? I'll post the pic when or if I get the 'facilities'. Lundin Farm's an amazing little site when the canine police allow you to spot all of it! This post appears as part of the weblog entry Callanish via Perthshire with surprise guest stones - Part 3

17-6-03 Spotted a farm called Lundin: thinks to myself ah I wonder if it's any coincidence (having been to Lundin Links a little while ago). Hmm knew I should have investigated..... next time - I shall be back .o0O0o. |

| This is off the A827 Aberfeldy to Grandtully road, the turning is on the right and quite sharp about 2 miles from Aberfeldy. If you see the remains of an old railway bridge you've gone too far, turn and go back to the next turning. You can park by the old railway or trust your suspension and drive about half a mile, on the way on the left is a standing stone in a small plantation, and a little way on the right is a stone on the bank. When you get to the Lundin Stones be careful, the only way across the burn is a plank - very slippery. The cupmarked stone is on the far side and usually covered with grass so be persistent. |

| There are said to be two more stones up by the farm, also a cupmarked recumbent. This may be the remains of another four poster. I haven't looked yet, maybe next trip. |
