My favourite of the castle. I like the compostion of your photo I've not uploaded one of the castle plenty better ones. I did enjoy the garden (plums on sale delicious)I was @ NT property 02/09/09.
Rumoured to be the point from which Rob Roy had jumped across the burn below to escape pursuing Hanoverian troops, but this statue has in fact got No Historical Significance.
From a historical point of view. Rob Roy Macgregor, so far is known was never at in or near Culter, The figure was there simply because they in Culter loved to have it so.
Eight blocks of evenly spaced red granite form a ring of some 10.2m diameter. The circle stones are undressed and graded in height, the tallest standing to the north-north-west. Their bases were shaped to a point, and then set in a well-drained gravel oasis in the surrounding swamp-land known as Leuchar Moss. Some of the stones look rather top-heavy, a bulbous stone supported by a thinner shank. But this probably resulted from the acid erosion of their shanks courtesy of the encroaching peat rather than by design.
Excavation by Kilbride-Jones in 1934 revealed quite a surprise lying hidden under the peat. No less than eight small cairns were found within the circle. The largest cairn at the centre of the circle (measuring 3.4m in diameter) comprised of eleven kerbstones and a central capstone-coverd pit. This pit contained oak charcoal to a depth of 25cm and fragments of human bone. Between the central cairn and the outer circle were a further seven cairns, six of which contained evidence of cremations in the form of oak or hazel charcoal. The area within the stone circle also contained a large amount of willow charcoal. Flint was also found during the excavation.
