    You can see the Aird Sleitenish 'stone circle' in the aerial view in that booklet.
    Also the 'Bing maps' link above (second blue aeroplane)

I think this is the one of the most remote stone circles there is, have a look at the maps - amazing. It's about 10 miles from a proper road, and requires a boat to visit I think. It's worth looking up on CANMORE but the site appears to be down at this moment. Who's going to be the first to get us a photo? :-)

    Recently returned from this area and believe that this is not a true circle but are lintels used as building materials similar to those found at Sideabhal. If anyone else wants to visit there is a track to within 1/2 mile of the site but take wellies. Really not worth photographing except for the view of an area where only a few locals venture.
