Akers
| Aberdeenshire has the highest concentration of
stone circles in mainland Britain. Many of which
have survived for thousands of years relatively
unscathed. The central Buchan area can offer a
unique window to the past, with stunning stone
circles in breathtaking unspoilt settings.
These historic sites have not been turned into
brash tourist attractions - they are open,
year-round to visitors. Why not soak up the
tranquillity of these sites and enjoy a connection
with our ancestors. Please use the
map references on this page to plan your visit. |
