Wandering around the remains of this stone circle amid an ancient, sacred landscape....is nothing short of astounding. Tomnaverie is a recumbent stone circle, a kind of monument found only in north-eastern Scotland. Their characteristic feature is a large stone on its side, flanked by two upright stones, usually on the south or south-west arc of the circle. The stone circle surrounds a burial cairn dating to about 4,500 years ago. The site appears to have seen use as late as the AD 1600s. It’s situated in a landscape littered with remains of stone circles and burial cairns. Wander around the remains of this stone circle amid an ancient, sacred landscape.

I have so many stories from this amazing place, it’s been the scene of initiations, group gatherings, watching the stars with flasks of hot chocolate and sleeping bags; and drumming up the sunrise at the winter solstice. Only 5 miles away from us it is a must do visit and if you’d like to hear some of my ‘uncanny tales’ about the place just ask!
