A lovely setting for this historic stone circle. In the past an ignorant person sadly re-arranged the stones according to what they thought was a good idea. Still worth a visit if you like this sort of thing.

Easy to find, dedicated parking for maybe three cars, easy access to the site. I give a 4* as maybe a little too well manicured compared to other slightly rawer stone circles in the region.

We are so spoilt with stone circles in the North East and this is another amazing example. We were greeted by a lovely old collie who followed us to the circle then sat and waited while we looked around before escorting us back to the car. We obviously gave her lots of clappies as a thank you! There is room for 2 or 3 cars to park but be careful of the doggie when pulling back out onto the road. There is a sign at the entrance telling of the excavation date of the site and another by the circle explaining what it would originally have looked like as a few stones are missing. 2 entrances through the wall, 1 is a slope for buggies, the other is a few steps. No recumbent or flanker stones here but Alford is just up the road a bit if you really feel you've missed out on those with 2 sets nearby. The area is kept beautifully so well done to whomever keeps on top of the grass cutting. We also saw 4 buzzards playing right above the circle so we scored with the local wildlife today!

Great stone circle ? that is well kept. This historical site has plenty of parking and has a ramp down to a level grass path.

One of my favourite stone circles in the area around Aberdeen. No recumbent stone or flankers here. So peaceful & relaxing. Thanks to our Ancestors ❤
