The final site of a perfect Perth day.

Large upright slab on the cairn. It might be clearance, but it could be part of the cairn.

C’mon, just another 15 minutes?

Just out of reach.

Staring into the sun as we leave.

The western circle in the foreground, fallen outlier immediately beyond, eastern circle beyond and eastern outlier standing on the left.

The fallen stones of the western arc of the western circle.

Looking north across the western circle.

The fallen outlier to the western circle.

The eastern circle. The arc of stones in the foreground are the circle, the ring inside is a kerb cairn, the sole standing stone beyond an outlier.

Looking south across the kerb cairn inside the eastern circle.

Eastern outlier, looking northeast.

Eastern outlier, looking southeast.

Towards Kate McNieven’s Crag.

Towards Milquhanzie hill with its fort.

Looking WNW towards what might be Ben Chonzie?

Looking southwest towards Kate McNievan’s Crag (the end of the Knock of Crieff).

Looking east, Milquhanzie Hill behind is topped with a hillfort and has a cairn on its slopes.

With beautiful cup-marked stone to the fore.

Towards Kate McNieven’s Crag into the low autumn sun.

Looking south. The cup and ring marked slab is far right of shot.

Looking northwest across the circle. Is the distant mountain Ben Chonzie?

Seen from the southeast. The Witches’ Stone can be seen in the field beyond to the left.

The hill from the WSW, near Monzie stone circle. The small fort occupies the very top of the hill.

Outlier.

The seven foot tall outlier, with the fallen outlier on the left, and (presumably) the displaced fourth stone from the circle on the right.

Looking north towards the Knock of Crieff.

Four poster, looking northwest.

Looking east-ish over the site.

Arriving from the southwest. The disturbed four poster is in the foreground, the outliers and other circle stone beyond.

This is a lovely site, I wish we’d had longer here.

Looking northeast.

Looking southeast.

Looking west.

Looking north towards Sgorr Racaineach.

The view of the stones from the road, where the obliging bus driver dropped us off and picked us back up again on his return.

Cultybraggan B.

There is a lot of stone exposed at the end of Cultybraggan B, which could be cairn material, field clearance or the remains of an enclosing wall reported in the 1960s. Cultybraggan A can be seen beyond.

Looking northeast across Cultybraggan B.

Cultybraggan B, looking northwest.

The excellent Cultybraggan B (NN 76682038), seen from A to the northeast.

Cultybraggan A. There is no sign of the enclosing drystone wall reported in the 1960s.
