Twelve Apostles

Stone Circle
NX 947 794

This large circle sits in a field north of Dumfries, it is quite large (260 feet) and therefore difficult to photograph, I assume it would be best seen from the air.

There are only eleven stones remaining and only five of these still stand. Burl says the south-west alignment is good for the midwinter sunset.
