Strichen Stone Circle

Strichen Stone Circle

Strichen Stone Circle is a small Megalithic period stone circle located in the north east of Scotland, near to Strichen, Aberdeenshire.

The circle has been destroyed at least twice: once by a tenant farmer who was ordered to put it back in place by his landlord.

It has been restored as recently as the 1980s.

Various-sized pieces of quartz can be found around the site.
