Monday 5th August

Perthshire

We camped for a couple of nights in the Deer Park at Glengoulandie. It is not signed as a campsite but you can stop there, it is a very peaceful place and you can walk around the park that has herds of deer, some quite large horned highland cattle and an impressive white stag. It’s not every day you wake up to the baby peacocks in the campsite cheeping outside either.

Fortingall
Stone Circles
NN 747 470

From the B846 drive SE towards Loch Tay but take the right turn signed Fortingall and Yew Tree and after about 2 miles when you pass Garth House you will see the circles in a large field on the left. There is room to pull in by a gate (with a No Dogs sign) that gives access to the site.

Southwest Four Poster

Northwest Four Poster

 

There are three stone circles here. To the NW is a Four Poster with three standing stones and two smaller ones between the corner stones. They are about 5ft (1.5m) high.

To the SW three stones stand about 4ft (1.2m) high and beyond this three stones stand almost in a row to the south. These are aligned SE-NW and the outer stones are quite large at around 5ft (1.5m) and they are at right angles to the smaller centre stone.
