Strichen Stone Circle
Strichen Stone Circle is a small Megalithic stone circle located in the north east of Scotland, near Strichen, Aberdeenshire. Strichen Stone Circle stands on a hill near Strichen House. In 1773 it was visited by James Boswell and Samuel Johnson, as the lexicographer was interested in seeing a "druid's temple". They found only the recumbent stone with its flankers, and one other stone. The arrangement was completely destroyed around 1830, and again, after reconstruction, in 1960. On both occasions the stones were completely removed. On one occasion the stones were removed by a tenant farmer who was ordered to replace then by his landlord. The site was excavated in 1975, and again in 1980-82 when the circle was re-erected.
