Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
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.

I should have come here in the spring ,the vegetation is very thick at this time of the year.Never mind,getting here was adventurous .A very large herd of "cows" tried their best to dissuade me, but as you see Angie,I made it unscathed.This must have been quite a sight when it was intact.The central stone 12ft by 6ft the mound was 219ft long 78ft wide.There was a grave at the eastern end containing the crouched skeleton of a young man.There were 4 chambers at the southeastern side,1 was empty th...

Dry Tree Menhir
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jul 2005
Dry Tree Menhir submitted by hamish on 11th Jul 2005. Finding this is not for the fainthearted if the weather is wet, it is very boggy. It is well worth the effort of finding. It was re-erected after WW1. It is 10ft high but was originally 13ft but soldiers nicked 3ft for road building. If you are in the area give it a visit, it is well worth it.

Country: Scotland (Perth and Kinross)
Visited: Yes on 6th Jul 2005
Craigmakerran submitted by hamish on 6th Jul 2005. Go to this site after Blackfaulds, but go there by the main road. The lane from Blackfaulds farm is not for the faint hearted. The stones are at the end of an arm of Blairmuir woods and are just inside the fence. There are lots of stones in the area but only two big ones. I can't find my picture of the other one.

Gleneagles A submitted by hamish on 23rd Jun 2005. I took this picture, including the phone mast erectors, and ran out of film so couldn't take another one. Maybe another time.
Interesting stone though, there are some markings on the right side.
