Easter Broomhouse

East Lothian

Standing Stone

Red Sandstone

As with many Neolithic and Bronze Age sites around Scotland, Easter Broomhouse stands on private farmland. Despite previous damage by ploughing, the space made around it has afforded some dignity for this stone to stand proud. The blue blush of Porpidia lichen stands out against the redness of the sandstone.

Kirklandhill

East Lothian

Standing Stone

Red Sandstone

Only a few miles west along the A1 from Easter Broomhouse, Kirklandhill, also sandstone, has a very different structure and colour range. Yellow and green crustose lichen merge boldly with the stone's blue-grey complexion.
