| The Gathering Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Stirling | Visited | 13th Jul 2018 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The Gathering Stone, Sheriffmuir: From the Sheriffmuir Cairn & Macrae Clan Monument at NN 81569 01934, we followed the footpath to its eastern side, between the main monument and the cairn, following the line of the stone wall, heading in a roughly north westerly direction.
Eventually a path spli... Read More |

| Sheriff Muir Row | Stone Row / Alignment | Scotland | Stirling | Visited | 13th Jul 2018 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Sheriffmuir Stone Row: Please can I claim the Portal prize for 'the most horsefly bites at one ancient site'? At first glance, it looked easy to walk to this stone row. The reality was it was a couple of hundred yards from the road, in deep heather. Having waded through the shrubbery, and having f...

| Glennan Standing Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Argyll | Visited | 18th Aug 2018 | 3 | 5 | 4 | Glennan Standing Stones and Cairns: What could top Kintraw Standing Stones & Cairns? But we found places that almost did. Carrying on down the A816 towards Kilmartin, we turned east on the road towards the small village of Ford, travelling along a very beautiful valley. We stopped at Old Glennan f... Read More |

| Wester Biggs (Dunblane) | Stone Circle | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Couldn't find | 13th Jul 2018 | -1 | 4 | 5 | Wester Biggs Stone Circle, Near Dunblane: Returning from tea and cakes in Dunblane, we resumed our search for megalithic sites. Next stop, hopefully, a not-before-photographed stone circle, right by the side of the road.
Finding the telephone mast and driving a couple of hundred yards further on... Read More |

| The Boat Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Visited | 13th Jul 2018 | 3 | 4 | 4 | The Boat Stone, Sheriffmuir to Dunblane lane: Marked on the OS map, but not on Canmore, this fallen standing stone is featured on the Portal and The Northern Antiquarian. The road is single track at this point, with not many passing places. The farmer had left the gate into the field wide open, an... Read More |

| Dunblane Cathedral | Class III Pictish Cross Slab | Scotland | Stirling | Visited | 13th Jul 2018 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Ancient crosses at Dunblane Cathedral: Having been bitten and bitten again by horseflies at Sheriffmuir Stone Row, the weather being very hot and humid, and the Sheriffmuir Inn decidedly shuttered up, we decided to go into Dunblane to find a cup of tea and a late lunch. We managed to find a parking... Read More |

| Gleneagles B | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Visited | 13th Jul 2018 | 3 | 3 | 4 | Peterhead Farm Pictish Symbol Stone: Right next to the A9, so the atmosphere wasn’t brilliant, but ignoring the traffic, looking east, this was a glorious setting.
There was a gate into this field full of sheep, so we let ourselves in and walked over to the stone, which now sits within 30m of a... Read More |

| Gleneagles A | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Perth and Kinross | Visited | 13th Jul 2018 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Peterhead Farm Standing Stone, Gleneagles: Our last stop of the day. Driving (it was too hot, and we were too lazy to walk) further along the single track road towards the mast and the entrance to Peterhead Farm, we parked near the mast and walked across the road. The nearest gate into the field a... Read More |
