Tyrebagger Stone Circle

Dyce, United Kingdom

Unknown to most Aberdonians, the relatively intact and well preserved Tyrebagger Stone Circle stands on a hillside within a mile or two of busy Aberdeen International Airport. Access to the site will require at least a 10-15 minute walk as it is impossible to reach it directly by car. The closest point where it may be possible to park is outside the Aberdeen Airpark facility in a disused quarry to the east. From there, good farm tracks lead to the stones. The final hundred metres require you to climb the permanently chained gate illustrated below and walk across a field of springy rough pasture.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
