One of the better preserved of the many Neolithic recumbent type stone circles in northeast Scotland

A magnificent building with a lot of history

Free to visit. An excellent stone circle with views to Bennachie and Inverurie. There is a nice woodland walk here too. Also easy to reach by bycicle. If the little car park is full, there is another one just down the road at Newseat community woodland.

A beautiful bridge, easy to find on the riverside paths or just a short walk from Seaton park. It is interesting to find it is one of the oldest in Scotland, and if you look closely you can see the difference in building techniques between the older parts and restored ones.

Back open since lockdown and masonry inspections. Check historic Scotland for opening times. I visited again in August 2023. Youll find a surprising amount of castle to see!

Easter Aquhorthies stone circle, located near Inverurie in north-east Scotland, is one of the best-preserved examples of a recumbent stone circle and one of the few that still have their full complement of stones and the only one that has all its stones still standing without having been re-erected. It stands on a gentle hill slope about 1 mile (1.6 km) west of Inverurie and consists of a ring of nine stones, eight of which are grey granite and one red jasper. East Aquhorthies Stone Circle is a recumbent stone circle – a monument type only found in north-east Scotland. It has a large stone set on its side and flanked by two upright stones, usually on the south or south-west part of the circle. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Aquhorthies_stone_circle - https://www.megalithic.co.uk/article.php?sid=74 - https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/east-aquhorthies-stone-circle/

The wonderful Brig o Balgownie is a beautiful 13th-century stone bridge spanning over the River Don in Old Aberdeen. Whilst it's not been officially proven, historians believe this bridge could be the oldest in Scotland! The bridge played an important part in history as it was the main bridge connecting Aberdeen to the North. Today, it is one of many bridges that connects Aberdeen with the north, however holds a special place as it carries a fascinating history and makes a fantastic photograph.

Tolquhon Castle remains seem quite impressive. Unfortunately the grounds are closed, so can only observe the castle from the street. Still a good spot to leave the car for a walk. https://www.historicenvironment.scot/visit-a-place/places/tolquhon-castle/
