#TombTuesday #DailyMegalith Quoyness chambered tomb, #Sanday #Orkney #Scotland (2018)
The inner chamber is 4m high and six smaller chambers lead off from it. The passageway is partly open now but you still have to crawl a fair distance.
I really love chambered tombs.

#StandingStoneSunday #DailyMegalith Tyrebagger stone circle (2021) is a very fine recumbent stone circle #Dyce #Aberdeen #Aberdeenshire #Scotland
The circle is complete (very unusual) and the recumbent stone is 24 tons of grey granite, the orthostats are red granite. There are eleven stones altogether.

#StandingStoneSunday #DailyMegalith Old Keig recumbent stone circle, nr #Alford #Aberdeenshire #Scotland (2021)
The recumbent, 53 tons of sillimanite gneiss, is the largest known. It's 4.9m x 2.1m x 2m and was brought from about 10km away. This is one of my favourite sites, it's beautiful, impressive, and there are some really great trees.

The very lovely #Cothiemuir Wood recumbent stone circle, aka the Devil's Hoofmarks nr #Alford #Aberdeenshire #Scotland (2021)
There's a natural burial ground nearby and if it wasn't a really really long way from where I live I'd quite like to be buried there.
