Notes on some Stone Circles in the South of Aberdeenshire and North of Kincardineshire

Abstract

The circles referred to are in Aberdeenshire: Wester Echt, Balblair, Gask or Springhill, standing stones of Cullerlie, Balnacraig, and Inchbaire, and Corsedardar Stone; in Kincardineshire: Inchmarlo Lodge, Banchory-Ternan, standing stones of\r\nDurris, Tilquhillie, and Rees of Clune, along with Rees of Clune and Sundayswells ring cairns. At Wester Echt there are only three stones left standing; at South Fornet, Nether Corskie, and Gask only two; and at Balblair only a single stone remains. Not a single one of the circles described is intact; many of them consist of only a few stones, and some have entirely disappeared.
