031 | A short distance east of the farm of Standingstones there formerly stood a circle consisting of seven or eight upright stones; they were removed by the tenant about thirty seven years ago. In, "Buchan" by the Revd [Reverend] John B. Pratt LLD [Doctor of Law] &c. incumbent of St James's Episcopal Church Cruden we find the following with reference to this circle. "About a mile and a half west from the parish church there was a druidical circle, consisting of seven or eight upright stones. These were removed by the tenant in 1831 to make room for "improvements". The farm is named "Stones" the only circumstance left to perpetuate the memory of "the Druidical Temple of Cruden". The circle was on the flat top of the eminence, about eighty or ninety yards South-east from the present farm house. On removing the stones, an incredible number of lizards (Lacerta Vulgaris) were found within the circumference of the circle". See Note 2. page 35. Second Edition |
