East Aquhorthies Stone Circle is made up of 11 upright stones, all of pinkish porphyry, except for the one closest to the east flanker, which is of red jasper. On the south-west edge of the circle is the recumbent stone, the largest in the circle. It rests between the two tallest upright ‘flanker’ stones. The stones show notable geological variation, and appear to have been chosen for their colour. ________________________ To learn more about our stone circle trip around Aberdeenshire, Scotland, check out our latest BESPOKE travel blog post at www.tailormadeitineraries.com/blog --------------------------------- #visitaberdeen #visitaberdeenshire #igersaberdeen #aberdeen #aberdeencity #aberdeenadored #aberdeenphotography #celebrateaberdeen #creativeaberdeen #granitecity #scotlandlover #scotlandsbeauty #visitscotland #loves_scotland #igersscots #insta_scot #ig_scotland #obscurescotland #instascotland #insta_scotland #megalithic #menhir #megaliths #standingstone #stonecircle #thattravelblog #livetravelchannel #travelstoke #lonelyplanet #bbctravel (at Easter Aquhorthies stone circle)
