Changeable weather at Broomend of Crichie complex near Inverurie for today's #StandingStoneSunday

A Neolithic henge (a circular earthwork with an external ditch) contains the remains of a stone circle. Two stones remain, the third is a carved Pictish symbol stone that was moved into the site later. There is also an avenue and various outlying stones.

Visited April 2012.
