Hidden in deep forest, ankle deep in moss, lies Blue Cairn RSC. A large cairn occupies the centre, with an unusual square enclosure. The recumbent has a perfectly flat top. Most of the standing stones were removed. Some lie furlorn in the corner of a field and in a dyke. 

A highly auspicious position above the acknowledged stone circle at Auld Kirk, appears to contain ruins of what might have been the most significant recumbent stone circle of them all. Why? I consider its height, position and natural resources.

Located in an oddly low lying position but with a clear view to Mither Tap, Balquhain RSC surprises and delights. Its famous outlier - a monolith of quartz, cracked from five thousand years exposure to Nature's elements - has the presence of a very serious Saint. The recumbent is notable for having an absolutely perfect flat face. An astonishing mirror to heaven.

Completely restored recumbent stone circle with henge bank and one of the only complete altar settings.

A bizarre modification sees this awesome monument incorporated into a wall. The powerful recumbent reflects the sacred earth with no less might. Only 1KM from Loanhead, this is a sublime wild wooded alternative to the trimmed grass and gated fussing suffered by its neighbour.

Restored RSC show site with central ring cairn. The recumbent is split like two gigantic slices of granite bread.

Stupendously situated in pine forest, this ancient site delivers on atmosphere. The recumbent is a mighty Stegasaurus. Almost all stones survive, as does the ring cairn.
