 Machrie Moor Stone Circles
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences We took some photos of this location that we'd like to share with you  

Machrie Moor Stone Circles Think of Machrie Moor as a collection of prehistoric monuments rather than a stone circle, and you will be closer to the mark. The remains of up to 10 Bronze Age circles, hut circles, standing stones, and cairns are clustered in close groupings around the moor, to form one of most important sites of its kind in all of Britain. The stones were erected over a long period of time, and cannot be considered as a single, cohesive monumen.

Attraction Type: Prehistoric
Heritage Highlight: One of the most important prehistoric monuments in Britain
Heritage Rating: Heritage Rating  ?
Location: Off the A841 near Machrie. Signposted. There is a level, but long walk of over a mile to the major circles.

We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences  

Mortlach Battle Stone The Battle Stone is a late Pictish symbol stone of green slate, probaly dating to the mid 11th century. It is a Class II stone, which means it bears Christian symbols on one side and more traditional Pictish symbols on the other. In this case the stone has an incised Celtic style cross, a pair of fish monsers, and a beast on one side, and a serpent, ox skull, bird, dog, and horseman on the other.

Moss Farm Road Stone Circles Beside the trail that leads to the standing stones on Machrie Moor is this attractive little Bronze Age cairn surrounded by a stone circle. The Moss Farm circle (sometimes known as Machrie Moor 10) is the first prehistoric site you come to on the path to the more famous standing stones further east. It is probably not directly associated with the Machrie Moor stones, but is a totally separate monument, erected at a different time.

 Ness Of Burgi
  

Ness Of Burgi In a stunning location on the edge of the sea, this stone blockhouse is probably of Iron Age date, though there similarities in the construction to techniques used in later broch building. It was probably built for defensive purposes, though it would have taken a determined invader to attack the location! There are three cells surviving, and the site gives views across to the lighthouse on Sumburgh Head. Access is awkward, involving a scramble over rocks from the end of the lane south of Scatness. Ness Of Burgi is an open access site, in the care of Historic Scotland.

Picardy Symbol Stone This beautifully carved stone is one of the oldest Pictish symbol stones in Scotland, dating to the 6th or 7th century. It stands in a farm field a few miles west of Inverurie. The stone is set over a small burial cairn dating to 1300-1500 years ago, which was found to have a grave recess beneath. Whether the stone is connected with the cairn burial is not certain.

 Quarry Wood Henge
We had the pleasure of visiting here, and our information is based on our personal experiences  

Quarry Wood Henge When you hear the word 'henge', do you instantly think of a large stone circle? I'll bet the answer is yes, but if you do, you'd be wrong. Perhaps we're conditioned to think of a stone circle when we think of henges through the most well-known henge of all, Stonehenge, in Wiltshire. But the 'henge' is simply a earthen enclosure, usually composed of one or more circular banks and ditches.

Rispain Camp A fortified camp or homestead dating from the 1st-2nd century AD. When Rispain was first excavated in the Victorian period it was thought to be a medieval homestead, perhaps even a castle, defended by banks and moats. Later carbon dating disproved this hypothesis, and Rispain is now considered almost certainly a late Iron Age farming settlement.

Rodney's Stone Rodney's Stone is a beautifully carved Pictish stone of grey sandstone, standing beside the drive to Brodie Castle. The stone, which is almost 6 feet high, was discovered in 1781 by workmen digging the foundations for a new church at Dyke. The situation of the stone suggests that it was associated with the old medieval church there. In the followiing year the inhabitants of Dyke erected the stone in the village to commemorate the naval victory of Admiral Rodney over the French at the Battle of the Saints.
