A large outlying stone sits in the centre of the picture with three others in the background. The remains of the circle cairn can just be seen in the grassland.
Lagmore West, the remains of a #ClavaCairn near the confluence of the rivers Avon & Spey. Two other #ClavaCairns lie close by .. #TombTuesday

Torbreck; a circle, SW of Inverness, with nine almost evenly spaced monoliths with the largest at 1.2m #StandingStoneSunday .... The southern R Ness catchment has the remains of five #ClavaCairns & this one circle.

Half ‘driven through’, and with only one outlying tall stone there’s not much left of Moyness #ClavaCairn … yet still engaging #TombTuesday #ClavaCairns

A narrow tarmac road in the centre of the picture with there large boulder stones in the verge of the right-hand side and two on the left. The road widens once past the stone circle.
It’s not often you get to drive through a stone circle; Leys of Marlee on the B947 south of Blairgowrie #StandingStoneSunday

In the centre of the picture is one large standing stone in a meadow with two other large stones in the background either side of the centre stone.
At 23m in diameter it’s hard to convey the sheer scale of Sheldon stone circle in Aberdeenshire #StandingStoneSunday

Back out today enjoying a slide, or two, down Lurcher's Gully #Cairngorms. My friend thought it was a tad better than ‘quite nice’.

Centre picture; a large diamond shaped boulder on an area of raised ground in a field. A rough circle of stones rotates round from this large stone.
Little Urchany #ClavaCairn. It’s thought there were once two #ClavaCairns at this site SE of Cawdor, but now only bits of one remain #TombTuesday

A huge stone sits in the front of the picture flanked by a taller standing stone on its left-hand side. The right-hand stone, that would have completed the recumbent, is fallen.
What a name for a recumbent – Yonder Bognie, in Aberdeenshire … #StandingStoneSunday

A snowy walk in to Corrour Bothy for a toilet maintenance visit. Smiley face drawn in the snow covering a rucksack.
A roaring bothy fire. #CorrourBothy #Cairngorms
Happy figure in deep snow in the #Cairngorms. Nic Cheyne, joint maintenance organiser for Corrour Bothy
Reflected figure in a pair of snow goggles. Nic Cheyne wearing the goggles and fellow Corrour Bothy maintenance organiser Neil Reid in the reflection.
Another toilet change at Corrour Bothy in the #Cairngorms. Heavy going in the snow, especially with one MO jet-lagged and one just old, but, hey, you take the good with the not so good.

Four large, one-metre-high, boulders forming a square on rough grassland. The hills of northern Arran can be seen in the background.

To the front right of the picture is the 2.65 metre high outlying stone. The mid distance is filled with the outer circle of stones that formed the edge of the large, 32m diameter, burial cairn that once sat here.
There are thought to be about 50 #ClavaCairn style tombs within 80km of Inverness; Delfour, SW of Aviemore, built so ‘it is orientated to point SW where the sun would set at midwinter’ #TombTuesday

Large outlying stone stands in rough grassland in the centre of the picture with the remains of the raised ring cairn behind it.
There are thought to be about 50 #ClavaCairn style tombs within 80km of Inverness; the ‘much robbed’, yet beautifully atmospheric, Carn Daley, northwest of Drumnadrochit, is one of them #TombTuesday
