| Glenquicken Circle | Stone Circle | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Glenquicken Stone Circle:
Our first stop of the day, and in a delightfully rural location. There was a small layby just to the east of a bridge over Englishman’s Burn at NX 50847 58492 which was large enough for one car. Walking to the gate into the field at NX 50904 58456, the gate had been tie... Read More |

| Minnigaff Old Church | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited (still working on) | 17th Jun 2019 | Cross Slabs, Minnigaff Old Church: The Canmore record says clearly that these two cross slabs are within the ruins of the old church at Minnigaff. We found these enigmatic ruins easily, within the burial ground of the modern-day church. However, the stones have been moved inside the modern church, ... Read More |

| St. Kennera's Cross | Ancient Cross | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | 3 | 3 | 4 | St Kennera's Cross, Kirkinner: It took a little bit of doing to contact the vicar at Kirkinner – numerous phone calls, but no answer, then an email to which there was initially no reply, so I'd crossed this cross slab off our visit list.
An email eventually came through whilst we were near Cast... Read More |

We eventually spotted it by looking along the drystone wall and seeing where the tallest stone poking out... Read More |

| Torhousekie stone circle | Stone Circle | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | 3 | 4 | 4 | Torhouskie Stone Circle: Our second stone circle of the day, and right next to the road. Contained by a fence to protect it from the huge cattle in the next field, this is a lovely little stone circle. We were at this site for what must have been an hour. Just after we arrived, a large ‘white va... Read More |

| Torhousekie Stones East | Standing Stones | Scotland | Dumfries and Galloway | Visited | 17th Jun 2019 | 2 | 3 | 4 | Torhouseskie Stones East: To be found in the field immediately to the east of the Torhousekie Stone Circles, one of these stones was most certainly the size of the boulders used in the stone circle, although because of the sheer number of cattle (and The Huge Bull) around these stones (and the deep ...
