Aikey Brae Stone Circle, near Old Deer, Aberdeenshire. Up the hill from the sight of one of the few last remaining Horse Fairs in Scotland, and the site of the skirmish between the army of Edward Bruce, the brother of Robert, and the Earl of Buchan, John Comyn's troops. This was after the battle of Barra Hill near Oldmeldrum and Inverurie, c.1307. |

"The hour's coming," states
the Crimond Clock, but in 61 minutes. (look very closely at the last
minutes between 11 and 12!)
This architectural mystery is also the same church where minister's daughter, Jessie Seymour Irvine wrote the music to "The Lord's My Shepherd", the tune and the village share the name. |

And an illumination from The Book of Deer, the 9th Century Gospel MS containing the first written example of Scottish Gaelic (11th Century) anywhere. Sadly plundered by the Marischal Keiths and ending up at Cambridge University, and subject of a digitisation project. The last major study of the MS was in 1972 by Professor Jackson in his work "The Gaelic Notes in the Book of Deer". |
