| Chapman's Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 4th Apr 2019 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Chapman's Stone: Our second stop of the day, and easy to stop alongside the road where it widens slightly, at NY 10746 99049 and walked back the short way to the stone. The stone has a fence built right over the middle of it (it looks like it could be used as a stile). It’s eastern side looks as ... Read More |

| Poldean menhir | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 4th Apr 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Poldean Standing Stone: The third stop of the day with this stone easily visible just to the west of the road, towards the eastern edge of a large field of pasture.

| Skip Knowe | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 4th Apr 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Skip Knowe Standing Stone: Our first stop of the day, which nearly wasn’t, as we got caught in a SSE convoy putting up new poles and wires. We stopped by what looked like a community hall and I asked permission to park there for 10 minutes whilst we walked back 100m to look at the standing stone. ... Read More |

| Wamphray Place | Misc. Earthwork | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Saw from a distance | 4th Apr 2019 | 1 | 3 | 4 | Wamphray Place Motte & Bailey: Continuing down the hill (north west) from Wamphray Church, past the mill and over the narrow bridge, as we climbed the hill at the other side of the river, we spotted this small, compact motte and bailey and stopped to take a few quick photos. Wish we’d had more ti... Read More |

| Pumplaburn | Cairn | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Saw from a distance | 4th Apr 2019 | 1 | 2 | 4 | Pumplaburn Cairns: Making our way back towards Annandale Water, we went under the smallest railway bridge we’d ever travelled under – 7ft tall and 7ft wide! We didn’t find these cairns, despite wandering up and down the road. Looks like they may have been buried by the large hardstanding for t... Read More |
