Long Meg And Her Daughters submitted by nicoladidsbury on 13th Jul 2005. Long Meg in midsummer moonlight. The solstice night is very short, but when you're waiting for the sun to rise, it gives plenty of opportuntiy to experiment with photos! I took this photo around 2am, in the middle of the solstice night. The moon was shining very brightly casting beautiful moonlight shadows, it felt very magical. I turned up my ISO rating to catch as much light as I could, and set the timer for 30 seconds. This is the result. I know its a grainy picture, and rather odd, but the b...

Backhill Of Drachlaw
Date Added: 4th Nov 2013
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Yes on 18th Sep 2013. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 3
Backhill Of Drachlaw submitted by cosmic on 22nd Mar 2004. Backhill of Drachlaw at NJ673463 in Aberdeenshire is rated as an Grade One Circle by Burl but personally on this trip I consider Yonder Bognie as more impressive. The stones are unusual in being basaltic with veins of pebbles in them - see close-up.
The farmer admitted to having dumped a rogue stone in the circle - I'll have to go back for another look!
Just under 300m away to the NNE is the huge Carlin Stone reckoned by Fred Cole to be the recumbent of another circle - personally I think...

Cairn Riv submitted by cosmic on 22nd Mar 2004. The Carlin Stone at NJ674465 in Aberdeenshire is just under 300m NNE of the Stone Circle at Backhill of Drachlaw. Fred Coles considered it to be the recumbent of another stone circle but at over 8 feet tall this seems unlikely to me.
