Twelve Apostles Stone Circle

The Twelve Apostles Stone Circle is an impressive prehistoric monument located in a remote field near Dumfries, Scotland. It is the largest stone circle on the Scottish mainland, consisting of twelve prominent stones, with smaller, partially buried stones forming an outer ring. While its exact origins and purpose remain shrouded in mystery, it is believed to date back to the Neolithic or Bronze Age. The site's remote location and lack of extensive facilities contribute to a sense of solitude and connection with the past. The circle has been suggested to have been 'Christianised' with the addition of a 12th-century saint's stone.
