Blindwells    Blairgowrie, Perthshire

Looking southwest. The southwestern-most stone is clearly the most massive, but a fallen stone at the southeast would have been taller.

Although somewhat ruinous - not to mention vandalised with New-Age Magickal GraffittiTM - this is a wonderfully atmospheric and beautiful stone circle.

Set in a clearing in Druids' Seat Wood just north of Perth, it is peaceful and lit with soft green light through the trees.

There are nine stones in a thirty-foot circle ranging from a stocky squared boulder nearly six feet tall down to much smaller stones little over two feet tall. Tall and short stones alternate round the circle, although this is not so obvious now that several of the stones have fallen.
