Torhouskie

Dumfries & Galloway

Stone Circle

Sandstone

Theories of a stone circle's layout have added intrigue over the years. Torhousekie has generated much debate over it's supposed function. The three stones at its centre are said to mark the grave of a king, whilst the eighteen stones around it, along with a half stone, may represent the length of the lunar cycle.

Bagbie

Dumfries & Galloway

Standing Stone

Sandstone

Bagbie Standing Stone is part of a megalithic complex on remote farmland overlooking Wigtown Bay. It stands isolated from a cairn and stone circle on the other side of a high stone wall and like many standing stones, appears to change shape as you walk around it. The surface cracks and fissures ambiguously disguise it's long-lasting endurance.

Cairn Holy 1

Dumfries & Galloway

Chambered Cairn

Sandstone

Many Neolithic burial chambers have their entrance passageways facing the east and the rising of the sun. Splintered stone protrudes from the sides of this forty-three metre long double chambered cairn. At the eastern end stand eight slender leaning portal uprights, their angles and folds draped in a green crustose covering.
