The prehistoric stone circle at Loanhead of Daviot
Daviot (Gaelic: Deimhidh) is a village in Aberdeenshire. Theologian William Robinson Clark was born here.

Other interesting features are the House of Daviot, a disused old people's home recently bought and refurbished privately, a Schlumberger explosives facility (on a nearby hill), and the first GM crop field in Scotland.
In Daviot there is also a pub (The Smiddy Bar).
