From English Heritage Stonehenge: "This is the first aerial photograph of Stonehenge. In fact, it's the earliest known aerial photograph of any archaeological monument in Britain. It was shot from a military air balloon in 1906 by Lieutenant Philip Henry Sharpe of the Royal Engineers’ Balloon Section." 📷: Historic England Archive
Sad to see the roadways carved straight across the prehistoric ditches. 🥺

The Sighthill Stone Circle in Glasgow.
Created by Duncan Lunan in the 1970s on the site of a former chemical factory, this is thought to be the first astronomically-aligned stone circle created in over three thousand years. It was moved to a new site in the late 2010s, but it was correctly re-aligned when it was re-built.

The Aikey Brae Stone Circle stands in a wonderfully secluded location at the summit of Parkhouse Hill near Maud and is the most original, complete, and "unimproved" stone circle on view in northern Aberdeenshire. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/deer/aikeybrae/index.html

The north side of Balbirnie Stone Circle. The circle comprises eight stones in a partial circle some 15m in diameter and was probably erected over 4,000 years ago. It stands close to the A92 on the eastern side of Glenrothes in Fife. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glenrothes/balbirniecircle/index.html

The Sunhoney recumbent stone circle, standing in a copse of trees near Echt in Aberdeenshire and apparently largely undisturbed since it was placed here over 4,000 years ago. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/echt/sunhoneycircle/index.html

Weather wasn't so good but the stone circle is as beautiful as the area is. Unfortunately, like many other places on Beara, no dogs allowed, so they had to wait in the car.

The East Aquhorthies Stone Circle. This can be found a few miles west of Inverurie in Aberdeenshire and was traditionally called "Easter Aquhorthies". It is one of around 90 recumbent stone circles to have survived in Aberdeenshire. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/inverurie/easteraquhorthies/index.html
