I flew off my rig yesterday, the weather was briliant.
The captain of the chopper took a different route into Aberdeen. We flew to Peterhead and then inland for a couple of miles and then south in an arc to Aberdeen. We flew over two circles. One was a neat circle which appeared to be on a raised platform and was fenced of on the edge of a field. I think this may have been South Ythsie.
The second was on the edge of a ridge. On top of the ridge was a ? folly/monument - a square, tall tower . The circle site looked a bit chaotic but some big stones were visible.
Any ideas to the identity of these two fellas?
cheers shipmates

Second one was South Ythsie, the tower is a monument to the 4th Earl of Aberdeen.
