Hia, off to scotland soon, spending 3/4 days between inverness and heading around towards Dundee.
Overwhelming selection of sites to see.
Anyone got any top tens (and why) to help filter.
Enjoy the myths and legends and like to draw/paint/photograph sites. Would love to see some pictish stones, i've never heard of until recently and since i've become a fan of the beast.

What a great tour to be doing! Hope the weather isn't too awful :)

I would def recommend checking out a few recumbent stone circles on your travels. Old Keig and Cothiemuir Wood are a brother/sister combo close to each other or another great set is Tomnaverie/Sunhoney/Midmar.

The Pictish stones are incredible, sadly some standing in place are now badly eroded. The Maiden Stone at Bennachie is a good one. I found this link helpful - https://www.aberdeenshire.gov.uk/leisure-sport-and-culture/archaeology/sites-to-visit/pictish-symbol-stones/
