Click and drag your mouse
in the picture to scroll around Broomend of Crichie henge. There
are three stones within the henge earthworks, the initial view is
of one standing to the northeast,
another stands to the left (northwest) and between them the northern
causeway entrance can be seen where a slight path through the grass
passes over it. The third stone to the south is a pictish symbol
stone that was moved here in recent times - the carvings are on
the opposite face. A second southern causeway is located just beyond
this as well as further standing stone about 90 metres away hidden
by the clump of tall grass to the left of the houses. This panorama
was shot in the rain with a compact camera and no tripod. |
