The Twelve Apostles (grid reference NX9470079400) is a large stone circle located between the villages of Holywood and Newbridge, near Dumfries, Scotland.

A plan taken by Francis Grose in 1789 shows twelve stones and the First Statistical Account, published two years later, records the same number.

[8][1] The 25 inch Ordnance Survey map of 1850 shows twelve stones in the circle, but this is due to an accidental spot of blue ink on the original plan which was carried on to published work.

[13] There was another stone circle a mile east near the River Nith but this was destroyed and used for building material before the New Statistical Account was compiled.

This has since been identified as Saint Norbert, founder of the Premonstratensian order and dated to the twelfth century.
