I can only agree with the previous posts, a magnificent site which shouldn’t be missed. The walk is only about 15 minutes, and the view compensates for all.

Being slightly nervous around dogs, I was a little perturbed when a collie silently sidled up to me, staring intently. It then dropped a golf ball next to me, moved back a few feet and then looked pointedly at the ball and then me.

The fact that ‘fetch’ was the highlight of the visit sums up Cullerlie. Its nice, but seems to have no soul. Come anyway, and perhaps we can re-energise the place, and it is a nice place to just sit and listen to the wind in the trees (and the panting of an exhausted collie dog).

Strangely, I’ve never felt much affinity with Loanhead, and I couldn’t say why. However, this time I walked through the woods with the rain dripping through, and stood in the centre of the circle. I could still hear the rain beating on the trees, but not a single drop fell inside the circle.

Shows what I know....

I love this circle-a definite air of power still remains, and I found it harder to leave than I usually do. I was struck by an overwhelming urge to lay down in the circle, and when I did attempt to leave, it was like wading through treacle – an effect which ceased as soon as I got outside the stones.

An unusual experience for me, yet not unpleasant.

A powerful place.

This site is gorgeous, and one where the new forestry adds atmosphere, rather than detracting.

A must visit, even amongst the jewels in this part of Scotland-If you’ve come to see Loanhead and East Aquhorthies you can definitely see this, and you have the bonus of the 2 Esslie circles just around the corner.
