There is no way to travel around Britain without passing by at least one Stonecircle. Some thousand year ago some ancient folks ensembled the stones in this specific order, so their druids can gather together in this location to watch the moon, discuse the stars, have a good drink and slaughter some neighbours for their ancient god's sake
Tyrebagger hill is one of the Aberdeenshire famous ancient places. Circle is located close to North Sea Cycle Route, so you pass by as sure, as it is not too easy to find.
As you see on the map, NSCR leads you through a town called Dyce, first call after leaving Aberdeen behind. There is Aberdeen airport and huge Dyce industrial estate inbetween you and Tyrebagger hill. Second challange: Stonecircle is not located - as promised - on Tyrebagger hill. But next hill, Marcus hill, I tend to say.
So how to get there? Hm, not so easy. Please leave Cycle Route and bike west. Pass by airport and industrial estate. Maybe it is not shown on your map. But there is a small way to be found running between industry and hill. Follow this way and cycle uphill. Stones are on a green, surrounded by cows.

Try this: Outside Dyce, please cycle along trainline and river passing Aberdeen airport on its northern side. Pass by the industrial estate next.
Next there is a small track uphill. Pass by some houses and trough a forest. Uphill left until, cycle along until you see airport again. Stonecircle is on the right hand side.
