Any
excursion into the prehistory of Grampian should start
at Scotland’s unique prehistory park, at Oyne.
Archaeolink evokes the ages before history was recorded,
by taking visitors back to the time of the Picts,
Romans and, further back, to the shadowy Mesolithic
(Stone Age) folk who once lived their lives in this
part of Scotland.

Archaeolink
features a reconstructed Iron Age Farm and a walk to
the remains of an Iron Age enclosure and hut circle,
among its many outdoor features. Indoors, the Archaeodome
reveals ancient ancestors, stone circle rituals, and
even the Battle of Mons Graupius - and much more. The
Myths and Legends surrounding the NE monuments are told
and explained. |
Best of all, you can construct
your own prehistory trail. Aberdeenshire’s wealth
of sites, from great stone circles to Pictish stones,
lie all around Archaeolink’s location at Oyne
in the heart of the rural North-East. By using the
special computerised feature, Archaeoquest, you can
take an interactive look at these features and receive
a personalised guide to them. When you leave, you
will have directions to the sites of your choice.

As
you travel around, look for the standing stone logo
on signposts, which will help you find some of the more
important sites on the Stone Circle Trail. |
