Midmar Kirk, Recumbent Stone Circle,Bronze Age

The recumbent stone circle at Midmar Kirk probably dates from the Bronze Age and consists of eight stones making up an incomplete ring measuring 17m in diameter. The recumbent stone on the south west side is flanked by two pillar stones, the tallest pair in the ring. Midmar Kirk was deliberately built in close proximity to the circle, the result of an 18th century belief that the monument was a Druid religious structure - Druidism at this time was thought to be an offshoot of Christianity. It has now been incorporated into the landscaped grounds of the graveyard.
