David has been here 6 months and I had not taken him to any stone circles despite there being 99 such sites in Aberdeenshire. Above is Easter Auquorthies, the name of which derives from the Gaelic 'a place of prayer'. It is a wonderful recumbent stone circle not far from Inverurie. The upright stones are of many very varied types of rock and are graded by size around the circle. The detailed picture shows the surface of the only pink granite rock. Close up it is incredibly vivid and textured, pocked with holes.
