Leochel-Cushnie is a parish in Aberdeenshire, about 40 km west of Aberdeen (West Aberdeenshire (UK Parliament constituency)).

Stone circle

In January 2019 a "recumbent stone circle" in the parish, thought to be thousands of years old, was revealed to have been constructed, by a former farm owner, in the 1990s. Historic Environment Scotland and Aberdeenshire Council's archaeology service had celebrated the circle as an authentic discovery and continued their research until being contacted by the former owner.^[1][2]
