| Whiteadder Reservoir | Cairn | Scotland | East Lothian | Visited | 27th Oct 2018 | 2 | 4 | 4 | Whiteadder Reservoir cairn and stone setting: We parked at NT 64304 64291 and walked along the first part of the Herring Road onto the land high above Whiteadder Reservoir with the GPS to find this stone setting and enclosure, with the cold winds whipping around our ears. From what I'd read on Canm... Read More |

| Packman's Grave (Whiteadder Reservoir) | Stone Row / Alignment | Scotland | East Lothian | Couldn't find | Packman's Grave, Whiteadder Reservoir: Despite having the grid reference, we were unable to find anything at this site, which was disappointing. We did find something remarkably similar at NT 62814 64541 - five stones in a kite-;ike shape, not far to the south west of the Mayshield Stone Setting. | 105 | 3 | ||||
| Rood Well | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Scotland | East Lothian | Visited | 27th Oct 2018 | 4 | 4 | 5 | Rood Well, Stenton: A very pretty well, and very easy to find. Just by the side of the road, some 300 metres north east along the B6370 from The Tron. The well is below pavement level, with steps leading down to it. The well cavity was damp but there was no pool of water. I couldn’t see any pipe... Read More |

| Easter Broomhouse | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | East Lothian | Visited | 27th Oct 2018 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Easter Broomhouse Standing Stone: Dusk was falling as we arrived at this site, which I've long wanted to see. We parked by the water treatment works over the road at NT 67718 76493 and walked down the side of the ploughed area of the field until we were level with the stone, then ‘waded’ throug...

| Mayshiel Stone Circle | Stone Circle | Scotland | East Lothian | Visited | 27th Oct 2018 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Mayshiel Stone Setting: Whilst we were here to see the stones at NT 6298 6465, the first thing I spotted was a huge pile of clearance stones just up the hill in a field just north of the B6355. The second was what looked like a standing stone at the edge of the field at NT 62924 64612. On closer l... Read More |

| Witches' Stone (Spott) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Scotland | East Lothian | Visited | 27th Oct 2018 | 3 | 3 | 5 | The Witches' Stone, Spott: I had expected something a little grander than a large stone by the side of a hedgerow with a rusting iron railing and a sign that we could hardly read. There is a photograph on the Canmore record with a photograph of the sign from 2010 which is legible: “The Witches St... Read More |

| St John's Well (Spott) | Holy Well or Sacred Spring | Scotland | East Lothian | Visited | 27th Oct 2018 | 3 | 3 | 4 | St John's Well, Spott: With the wind still whistling and starting to get dark, we really wanted to see this well and the nearby Easter Broomhouse standing stone before calling it a day. At the north eastern end of Spott, a gated stile by the small school lets you into the field, which, at the time ... Read More |

| Hanging Stanes (Braid Road) | Marker Stone | Scotland | Midlothian | Visited | 28th Oct 2018 | 2 | 3 | 5 | The Hanging Stanes: Having spotted this site on the Ancient Stones website, and with them being just down the road from the Buck Stane, we decided to pay this site a visit on the way into Edinburgh City Centre. I don't know why I thought these were originally associated with witches, but found out ... Read More |

| Gogar Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Midlothian | Visited | 28th Oct 2018 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The Gogar or Easter Norton Standing Stone: The last time I visited this stone, the field was planted with crop with no easy way of crossing the knee high rows of plants, so we viewed it from a distance. On this visit, the field had been left fallow, so we parked in the small layby on Freelands Road... Read More |

| Duns Mercat Cross | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Scottish Borders | Visited | 27th Oct 2018 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Duns Mercat Cross: Having set off after a snow storm this morning, we stopped off in Duns just after 12 noon for coffee and a scone.
We went to the café we went to when we were here last (some 3-4 years ago), only to find the café open but no-one in, despite many cars in the town. Parking just... Read More |
