Loanhead Of Daviot submitted by Suncircle49 on 23rd Aug 2022. 19/06/2019 08.41: A beautiful sunny morning, perfect for flying a drone. The aerial photos showed clearly the shadow in the slit of the recumbent, ending midway along its length. However, what was interesting was the shadows of the standing stones which touched the inner ring of the RSC. The next morning at Easter Aquhorthies I saw similar shadows.

Broomend of Crichie Avenue submitted by golux on 8th Jan 2012. Aerial view of the avenue
This map shows the orderly placing of the stones: A, B and D sit neatly on a line running due S from the henge marking the E side of the avenue, stone C is the only surviving member of the W side. A cremation burial was found at the foot of stones B and C and some "funerary urns" have also been found along the avenue. There was another stone in the E line, just to the N of stone A at NJ 7792 1960, which was removed in 1851.
The OS map also shows 2 stones ...

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.

St Drostan's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 13th Sep 2006. Heading east on the B9031 take a left turn (toward the sea) just before New Aberdour. The road passes Old Aberdour Church before ending in a carpark at the shingle beach. The well is just to the east of the carpark at the base of a hill.
St Drostan used the water of this spring to baptise local people and was famed for his miracle cures. St Drostan died at Glenesk in 809AD. His remains were conveyed from Glenesk to Aberdour where they were placed in a stone coffin and long believed to w...

Candy

Site Type: Stone Circle

Visited: Would like to visit
Candy submitted by golux on 20th Mar 2011. Recorded in 1902 as being the sole survivor of a stone circle. The line of trees behind mark the boundary of the garden in which it stands, planted in 1978 by the owner (and builder) of the house, as he informed me.
I would imagine that the name "Candy", the name of the farm around here, is derived from the same root as Knockandy Hill behind it. (:Cnoc" is gaelic for hill.)
