| Friends of Grampian Stones have for a decade acted as liaison for the interested visitor, |
| landowner, educational institution & government & church bodies. We continue to press |
| for more funding and for stringent measures to counteract vandalism or, more insidious, |
| removal or replacement of ancient monuments to make way for 'progress'. |
| We are increasingly aware that our prehistoric and early-historic heritage |
| is a fragile and irreplaceable resource which requires our attention. |
| Besides the more obvious stone circles and Pictish stones, hundreds of sites of prehistoric importance, |
| such as souterrains, prehistoric field systems, settlements and cairns in Aberdeenshire and the Northeast |
| need attention and more effective protection. While Historic Scotland now has a resident warden, the |
| Grampian region has more monuments than any other region and certainly more than can be practically |
| supervised by a solitary government agency representative. |
|
You can help protect Northeast Scotland's prehistoric and Pictish heritage by joining
