Old Bourtreebush Stone Circle (1)

This circle was formerly thought to be a Recumbent Stone Circle, but current expert opinion now considers it to be a circle without a recumbent setting. It has four stones still standing, and several more either fallen or buried. For more details see Link

Aquhorthies Recumbent Stone Circle (1)

This is one of the most complete and also most complex of the Recumbent Stone Circles. Most of the stones are still standing, and there are two rings. The recumbent setting, from which the east flanker is missing, is aligned with the inner circle, while the rest of the standing stones form the outer circle. This is the view as one approaches from the south-east. For more information see Link
