| Tap o'Noth | Hillfort | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 11th Aug 2024 | 3 | 5 | 2 | a long walk uphill 1.5 to 2 hours but worth it. long distance views from the top and very calm inside out of the wind. you can see lots of the vitrification. the small car park is empty at 7am but gets full by about 11. some fools even try and bring massive trailer of bicycles! mind the dog walkers ...

| Kilmartin House | Museum | Scotland | Argyll | Visited | 3rd Jun 2024 | All very new posh presentation showing through the ages.
If you like a romantic Lord of the rings type view of the Neolithic, with ‘ceremonial’ musical accompaniment you’ll love it. You may go away with the idea that all neolithic people did was stand around chanting and burning things.

| Easter Aquhorthies | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 7th Jul 2023 | 3 | 4 | fortuitous meeting with a geologist there-almost all the stones are of similar igneous, typical 'granite' type.

| Balquhain | Stone Circle | Scotland | Aberdeenshire | Visited | 3 | 4 | 3 | the 3.2m quartz outer is an imposing stone. lichen does not seem to grow on quartz, so it is bare rock.

| Replica Bronze Age Round House at Brodick Castle | Modern Stone Circle etc | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 8th May 2023 | 4 | 5 | 4 | A great visit-the fire had been prepared 2 hours before, so the hot air and smoke was filtering well through the roof (bracken and thatch). Sat inside it was only smoky in the upper space. Definitely not as smoky as sitting round a fire in the open. A lovely space that seems so much bigger than its ... Read More |

| Machrie Moor 2 | Stone Circle | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 10th May 2023 | 2 | 5 | 3 | three 'Stennes' like stones remain. other stones are either fallen, or otherwise dismantled. More of a square than a circle? Two millstones at the SE. | ||
