Stone Circles of Scotland | Aerial Film of the Recumbent Stone Circles of Aberdeenshire

- An exclusive drone film of six amazing stone circles in Aberdeenshire. There are over 150 recumbent stone circles in this area, but there were once many more. Built high up with a clear southern horizon, the main features are the massive recumbent blocks, often up to 60 tons, that were oriented to the south-west. Two upright ‘flankers’ sit either side creating a horizontal ‘altar’. Opposite, the smallest stone in the circle would be positioned, with the others graded towards the south-west. They range from 60ft to 80ft wide. At 57 degrees latitude the Moon often rolls across the landscape, and this false horizon was part of their lunar observation kit. Some circles didn’t fit this astronomical scheme, and may have been in honour of the earliest circles, that date back to between 2,700 - 2,000 BC. Some were burial sites with cairns often within the ring. Easter Aquhorthies is a restored site and the recumbent is bright pink granite with quartz streaks. Midmar Kirk is now in a churchyard, and many others are hidden in fields with crops!

Wonderful. Thank you. And great to see the authorities looking after their heritage so well. More of that is needed across the UK.

Thanks for the chillout Stones of Scotland video. Fantastic.
Scotland surely has some interesting place nice video thanks
Drone flying ... like a boss :)
Your channel so inspired me with stone circles, I placed my own stones in circle formation, including a stone that looks like a Easter Island head. Of course these stones were placed under a majestic Oak tree. Expanding Knowledge 🌎
Expanding wow! I sure would like to know more about it!
@@noname-by3qz Like what?
Thank you for these insights to places I will never get to visit. Great work. And interesting comments as well.
So beautiful... Thank you.
Cape Town 😍
Oh my gosh this is absolutely delightful! One has a feeling of being in and amongst the circles proper! From Giuseppe in Cape Town South Africa 😊😊
Very well done. Interesting video.
Thank you for this video, it's magic! So grateful to live in the area and connect with the land here 🙏❤️✨
Thank you! Nice not to see virus stuff in 2020! Teresa from California
Those who are drawn to this... within the subconscious... previous lives...you lived ever so close to nature..to God.
It will all return again.💥
I shared this with my daughter. We were planning a trip to Scotland this spring. Obviously we had to delay the trip. Love the views and can't wait to reschedule!
Super.
I`ll be at three of these sites later in July
Love your vids hugh!!
Ever thought of using markers on the ground to show compass/solstice directions??
'Make an awesome addition with extra info too perhaps,
especially as you do get about!!! 👌👌👌
Wow ! Beautifull. Especially from the air , crazy to think the people who built them probably didn't see them from above ..
At first glance of the second one, I thought, Druid, don't know why, just did.
Thank you, nice video, beautiful.
Beautiful video, haven't seen some of these circles before, they are incredible and great to see from the air. Great stuff thanks!
Magnificent, well filmed & put together.
Love sent from Scotland
I have a great grandmother and so on from there. Fanny Coutts from This video shows the very Kirk they might have gone to!! Anyone out there from a Bruce or Coutts? In Aberdeenshire.They went to Ontario. There's still a Coutts reunion there every summer.
0:57 concerned moomoos due to epigenetic memory? or just feeling the ley energies?
They were places to gather, pray, dance, mourn, celebrate, heal, mark the seasons, summon the spirits, thank the Earth, bequeath the elements., ask for guidance, go within....
Not mad keen on drones when I'm oot n aboot minding my own business, but this is pretty fab. Thanks
The ancients would dance around the circle...chanting all night.
At first light the priest would call down fire from the cosmos igniting a wood pile on the horizontal stone slab.
Ivan ...wow.. how do we know this?
@@noname-by3qz They knew the power/influence of Shadows.
When you look again at the stones , the land lay out.
Above all, they understood ""love"", the Love manifestation of the Cosmos.
Grace Cooke speaks about this in her books too....Stone Henge.💥
@@ivanlabuschagne8324 thanks!
I noticed that nearly all had two stones with a rock between them. This reminded me of the fangs of a snake. Now if one were to bring his heel straight down with the foot angled up, it would leave a circle impression. Thus what we are seeing is the head of the snake being crushed into the ground after biting the seed of man.
The area is well known for Amanita Muscaria shrooms since as far back as forever.exported to.. well..I'm thinking these places were built to have certain experiences using shrooms..like West Kennet it's alive on them. Deep visions...in circles completely different experience ...
I could watch hours of this if there were no ads
Moon circles ,the recumbent stone = femininity and fertility related to the setting of moon, on certain points.
The deiseil stones in Scotland, those facing southward,or towards the Sun cycle,are more masculine
Various LIGHT, sun ,moon, time of the year,is more important in Scotland, especially in midwinter, when it gets really dark and dreary.Let there be LIGHT.
Crop Circles made of stone.
I do find your work fascinating and well worth being subscribed too, But if you don't mind me saying so you do ( and I do Not mean any disrespect to either of you , but you do remind me of Ray Mears ) That is not a bad thing it is just that. LOL. Keep up the great work
I’ve been compared to much worse. Being compared to Ray Mears is a compliment!
Used for fertility rituals, lunar alignments for females, solar alignments for males

Which direction is the flat stones
Is it a throne ?
Stone
Heptahedron
Tetradecagon
maybe the blood of virgins flowed off the stone as they sacrificed to the rising of the sun.
