Tomnaverie Stone Circle

Before heading into the Cairngorms National Park, we made a short stop at these ancient stones (approx 2500 BC).  These were placed away from areas of habitation and showed evidence of burnings/ash remains.  It is suspected it was used to cremate bodies at one time.  The three largest rocks frame the mountain in the distance, but also the full moon during mid summer once a generation.

These other rocks formed part of two concentric circles.

We picnicked here before heading on for more adventures.
