Brandsbutt Stone
The stone and its neighbours once formed part of a stone circle. The circumference of the circle was marked by a circle of cobbles laid in the grass, but the grass, having this unfortunate tendency to keep growing, has now all but hidden the cobbles. You can just about make out a groove in the grass from lower left to the centre of this shot. The information board is clearly visible, and the Brandsbutt Stone itself is in the semi-shade to the right of it. See https://canmore.org.uk/site/18894/brandsbutt-inverurie-symbol-stone for more information.

Another view of the Brandsbutt Stone
This fine symbol stone was blown up in the 19th Century and the fragments used to construct a dyke but most of it was later reassembled with cement infills. Until recently it was in open farmland, but is now surrounded by suburban housing. It is decorated with Pictish crescent and V-rod and a serpent and Z-rod symbols as well as Ogam characters.
