The Sandy Road Circle

Turn off the A94 main road running north through Scone into Stormont Road. Pass the park on the left, then take the first left - Sandy Road. The circle is in the first cul de sac on the right, appropriately enough christened Greystones...

Burl is spot on about this one: "This is the ideal site for the slothful. Except when thick with heather it can be seen from one's car." Canmore states more prosaically: "This stone circle stood on the W side of the village of New Scone until 1961, when it was excavated by Stewart in advance of housing development. On completion of the excavation, the circle was re-erected and it now forms a landscaped feature within the housing complex." And that's exactly what you get. Seven stones, graded in size with the larger ones in the W-SW arc. A bit soul-less, for me, but at least they didn't just destroy it. More one for the obsessional rather than the purist!
