Burl puts the Aberdeenshire total at 130. Plus 78 in Perthshire. Is that the 200? Or are his stats out of date since Copey's been rumaging?

Guessing, but I think the 200 includes more destroyed & mebbe questionable ones than Burl counts, plus some that Julian has found out about that mebbe Burl didn't.

To 'do' the Dunnideer thang is really interesting, but most of em are pretty trashed in themselves. There are a few really good (non-Dunideer) ones that hardly anyone goes to tho - off the top o me head, Sheldon/Shieldon, Clune Hill, Netherton & particularly, North Strone spring to mind. And if yr doing Midmar, you've GOTTA do Sunhoney!!! (Plus altho way over-restored Cullerlie's quite nice & nearby.)

It's a shame my Aberdeen trips were pre-blog facility & I've not even got round to fieldnotes for most of em. If any that you end up planning to go to are short on fieldnotes, let us know & i'll see if I can remember any hints for approaching/finding them.

If any think of any other dead ace ones, I'll letcha know. Oh, Balquhain is ace n'all!!!
