A Scottish one as it's St Andrew's Day: Baliscate stone row above Tobermory on Mull. There's a path of oyster shells leading up to the field of the stones – very nice. #StandingStoneSunday

Athassel Priory • Tipperary • c.1200
Undoubtedly one of Ireland's most impressive and expansive medieval ruins, Athassel Priory was founded for the Augustinians by William Fitz Aldhelm de Burgh.
Athassel would become a key mausoleum, or burial place, of the powerful De Burgh dynasty.
