Tilquhillie Standing Stone, Aberdeenshire3D Model
A recumbent stone circle probably once stood in one of the improved fields to the east-south-east of Tilquhillie Castle, but the stones were cleared before 1855 and the recumbent, a block known as the Druid Stone, lies discarded on a consumption dyke 375m south-east of the Castle (NO 7252 9402). Measuring about 2.5m in length by 1.3m in breadth and 0.8m in thickness, what was the even summit of the block now forms its west-north- west side. A second stone from the circle, as shown here, has been re-erected in a gap between another two consumption dykes 35m south-west of the Castle (NO 7223 9410); it presents a strongly curved profile and stands 1.65m high. It may be one of the flankers. (Great Crown of Stone 65). See https://skfb.ly/oDPuP for the Recumbent Stone. Canmore 36704
