Yonder Bognie
Date Added: 30th Oct 2024
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Aberdeenshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Yonder Bognie Warden submitted by cosmic on 22nd Mar 2004. Yonder_Bognie at NJ601458 in Aberdeenshire is rated by Burl as a Class 3 Circle but I felt it deserves more due to its impressive recumbent.
The recumbent at about nine feet long by five feet high is almost flat on top and is one of the most impressive I've seen. The circle especially to the west side seems to have some rogue stones dumped into it - there is a profusion of stones around the perimeter of the neighbouring fields!
The owner lives at Kirkland Farm and seemed happy for me to vi...

Whitehawk submitted by Andy B on 3rd Jul 2024. On 14th May 2024 I visited the Neolithic Cannibals art installation and exhibition in Brighton created by sound artist Simon James and pupils from local schools up on the estate at Whitehawk. Simon explains: Lots of people ask why we called it Neolithic Cannibals. I discovered some historical 'othering' in the language used by an archaeologist to describe the Neolithic community on Whitehawk Hill, which reminded me how some of the students in less well off areas of Brighton get looked down on. A...

Log Text: Had to hop barbed wire fence and a gate to get there, totally worth it wow what an amazing site. I really connected with something here, the rain stopped and a full rainbow appeared as i snapped pix and wondered what the ancients were up to here. it's a lovely site in the landscape, near to both the avon and spey rivers although i don't think i could see them.
i went in blind since i like to experience sites without fixed ideas as much as possible, but then i had to look this one up because it's such a confusing assortment of stones. i concur with the general theory that it's a chambered cairn surrounded by a stone circle, which puts it in clava cairn territory. i definitely don't think the lintel is positioned corrected but you can see some exposed chambers.
Burl's 'Recumbent Stone Circles of North-East Scotland' says:
"Even further to the east than the Nairn sites are Upper Lagmore (ibid, 389-90; Coles 1907,141-9) and Marionburgh (Henshall 1963, 391) in the Spey valley. The first is in a level positionbut in a sharply sloping field at 600 ft OD; and the second is on a terrace above the river. Thepositions of these sites are sufficiently similar to RSCs for one to hypothesise that the RSCs ofAberdeen may be traced from the Clava cairns"
It's well worth a visit and I'm looking forward to seeing my fotos!
Tyrebagger
Date Added: 31st Oct 2024
Site Type: Stone Circle

Visited: Yes on 1st Jan 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Tyrebagger submitted by Suncircle49 on 15th Aug 2022. Collection of photos of the recumbent 16-21/6/19: Canmore describes Tyrebagger with ‘a fallen recumbent’, but my first impressions, it’s a ‘Dolmen’. The recumbent and its flanker’s are very different to any existing RSC in Aberdeenshire. Its alternative name DYCE which is very similar to DYSSE meaning ‘Dolmen’. A recumbent on stone mounts…. a Dolmen?

Log Text: I have loved checking this site out over the years. Recently, thinking about water made me wonder if it was a sacred site arrived at by boat and now I've been pondering stone circles as places where bodies were left to be eaten by scavengers I want to go back and see how that fits. Don't forget the bit by the pub too!

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...
