Hollow drum sounds from a scout troop punctuated the blowing wind as we approached the Loanhead of Daviot Stone Circle in Aberdeenshire. This is a religious site of the Neolithic Period and was constructed 4000 to 5000 years ago. The exact uses of this Pre-Pictish site are subject to speculation just as many prehistoric sites are. The large recumbant stone may be linked to the ritual of blocking the entrances of chambered tombs.
