The Twelve Apostles, Hollywood, near Dumfries
The stone circle is oval in shape and could have contained 18 stones spaced evenly though only 11 remain.
Four are local, the others having been imported from hills some distance away
(similar to the Ring of Brodgar in Orkney).
It is 89 metres wide at the maximum diameter making it the fifth largest stone circle in Britain.
