Did think about choosing non Scottish sites but I'll think I'll stay at home with Aberdeenshire.

1) Thorax. For it's scenic location, cup marked stone, being complete and I have a pal that stays in the next farm. Handy for hikes round the Knock Hill area

2) Mill Of Kelly. In the centre of one of North East prehistoric collection. Bellmuir, Yhtsie, Shetin, Shivas, Fedderate along with hut circles, barrows and ancient settlements are all near by. But the main reason is Patrick Will, elderly now, but in his younger day along with his late brother saved the stones of the circle as the estate owners wanted to use them in walls and building. More importantly he made details of the stones original locations and notified the proper authorities. They are still safe in the walls surrounding his birth place. He still loves history and every now and then I give him a hurl about on some easy adventures. He is the font of all knowledge and folklore in this area. Lovely man.

3) Forvie Kerb Cairns. I found these and have loved the place ever since. They are difficult to find in an ever changing landscape. Early churches and a burgh are nearby and the whole area is a nature research well looked after. It is also up the road from the Menie Dunes, Balmedie scene of a battle between some pals and Mr Trump.

But to be fair I love all of them. The one's seen and one's to come plus all of yours!
