1 review of Craighead Circle

An ancient circle

Excellent

In the town of Portlethen, a few miles south of Aberdeen, we can find numerous historical remnants that show the presence of Pictish tribes in the area. One is Craighead Stone Circle. Initially considered to be a Pictish construction, archaelogical investigations have shown that the circle was built long before the Pictish period. From prehistoric times, this area has been a center of religious ceremonies.

Although the low stone wall surrounding the site is more modern, the megalithic construction is authentic. This construction is a circle with four posts, indicating that it was used for religious purposes (animal - possibly even human - sacrifices).

Unfortunately, it's hard to find, located on a private farm without any signposts, and close to a golf course. The funny thing is that it looks like it's been recently used to tie up horses ... some people have no respect for history!
