Lyneham Long Barrow submitted by hamish on 14th Jul 2005. I tried to take a picture on the mound but it is so overgroiwn I gave up. Grinsell described the place in 1936 he said "there was another large uprigh stone" in the certre of the mound. No sign now.

Site Type: Stone Circle

Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2005
Broughdearg submitted by hamish on 15th Jul 2005. I followed Nick's advice and walked to the farm. Park by the track gate but expect some interest this is a fishing river,"poachers".
The farmer is a bit amused at any interest in "auld stanes" so be prepared to be patronised.

Tullybannocher submitted by hamish on 23rd Jul 2005. It's easy to miss this one, I stopped in a field gateway to look at the map glanced round and there it was in that field. It was a four poster by repute but only two remain. Nick thinks there are cupmarks on the stones but not so sure myself.

Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)

The Boat Stone submitted by hamish on 23rd Jul 2005. After you have been to Sherriffmuir Stones keep on up the road. Don't try to find Wester Briggs Circle, it's hidden in the heather. Just down the road past the woods on the left is the Boat Stone. You have to clamber over the stone wall with a barbed wire topping to get to this stone. Nearly broke my leg but survived.

Spittal of Glenshee Standing Stone submitted by hamish on 23rd Jul 2005. This is the sight you get of the stone as you slip and slide 2 up 1 down on the steep slope. The views are great all round. You can think about the fine malt waiting for you at the Spittal as you slide back down to the bottom.
