Anne T visited on 17th Jul 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Glenamacrie/Clenamacrie Stone Row: After An Dun, we headed off a few hundreds yards west back down the road. I took two lots of photos here, because I think I mistook an outcrop (an unmown area of the field with stones protruding, at NM 92745 28409). Andrew had mentioned both a ‘stone row’ and ‘four stones forming a chamber’, so I thought I had photographed the right thing. Driving down to the farm, I spotted the right three standing stones in a field nearer the farm, which I also photographed. Andrew said the ‘lump’ in the field behind was also a cairn, but this was the closest I could get, so we’ve got these standing stones with the cairn behind.
I wish now I’d had the courage to go and ask to see these up close, but I felt intimidated because the farm was so big and the gate into the field seemed to be along the far end of the track. I can’t get used to the ‘responsible right to roam’ act in Scotland, but it still feels like trespassing at times, especially when you are going doing someone’s driveway.

For more information see Canmore ID 23182, which says: "About 100 metres east of Clenamcrie farmhouse there is a four-sided monolith situated on level ground immediately south of the public road. It measures 0.7 metres by 0.6 metres at the base and is 1.45 metres in height. Close beside it, to the west, there are two large boulders, but without excavation it is impossible to tell whether or not they are associated with the standing stone."
Update October 2019: This row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Glenamachrie, which includes a description, a plan of the row from a recent survey in March 2017, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, plus links to other online resources for more information.
