East Aquorthies Stone Circle
The East (or Easter) Aquorthies Stone Circle is one of the oldest, and perhaps the best preserved of the 90 Stone Circles in Aberdeenshire. The name “Aquorthies” comes from the Scots Gaelic for “Field of Prayer”, and it is easy to see why. Peaceful, relaxing and boasting stunning views across to the East of Aberdeenshire, it is truly a hidden gem of a monument. It is a fitting tribute to Glen Garioch distillery. A hidden gem of a whisky in the East of Aberdeenshire. Like East Aquorthies, it is one of the oldest distilleries in the area, dating back to 1797. Across the views you see where the barley is grown, historically used for Glen Garioch malt. The landscape perfectly encapsulates the whisky in the glass. Green, fresh and elegant. This is definitely a dram to enjoy with friends in the warm weather.
