What a beautiful day and a very pleasant walk over from Stonehaven
What a beautiful day and a very pleasant walk over from Stonehaven
This place is simply stunning and site of a number of pictish (is that the right term) forts here and along the coast
Nice little site, tucked away in the bushes on an industrial estate, as noted earlier, worth a visit if in the area
Interesting looking site, unfortunately now totally fenced in and a number of horses grazing there. No obvious way in (with the time I had available) so something for another day
Always the focus of these circles and a guessing game as to how much the stone has moved since it was originally aligned (with the moon?)
Not sure of the exact layout of this site, something I need to explore in more detail
A lot going on here, most of it overgrown and seemingly uncared for
What an amazing site, apologies my pictures do not do it justice
A lot of rubble around the site making it difficult to envisage it in total. Aquhorthies towards the top right hand side of the picture
A good Aberdeen sky awaits and it did eventually rain
Getting an appreciation for the size of this site as you walk from the field gate up the hill towards the stones
Pretty little stone just outside the monument
‘Moth’ gave this site its name many years ago, who am I to disagree!
There are 4 monuments all together making up the St Pierre complex
Despite being open heathland some of the sites were quite difficult to get to as there were measures in place to protect the soil and low fencing to protect the monuments
Looking from the East, has a stone circle and menhir been added or is it somehow part of the overall design
Looking from the East, quite simply one of the most beutiful and stunning sites I have come across
Standing like two gate posts leading on to other monuments
Even though I have been here before it is difficult to contain the excitement as you approach the alignment, like a ceremonial route leading to all the magnificent monuments to follow
A real survivor this one. Holiday homes in the area have reduced numerous sites to either garden trophies or reset elsewhere on the peninsula
