Craighead Circle

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).
