Sighthill Stone Circle
The circle is located in NS5966 : Sighthill Park, and has been described as "the first astronomically aligned stone circle built in Britain in about 3,000 years". The project, which began in the 1970s, is not yet (at the time of writing) complete, but it is hoped that work on it can be resumed, and that the circle will be renovated and completed.
