Easier to get to is the Tomnaverie stone circle just
outside Tarland to the south of the B9094 Tarland/Aboyne road. The
circle sits perched precariously above a quarry, a sheer drop on two
sides necessitating a sturdy fence. Five of Tomnaverie's 12 white
stones remain standing, a wide internal ringcairn kerb shows clearly in
the grass. The best thing is the glorious view of Morven, Clachnaben
and cairn-covered Balnagowan Hill, which is well worth exploring.
