Stone Circle in Isle of Skye
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) identified this now destroyed stone circle from a publication by Otta Swire (1961) - see their page for Kilmarie, Kirkibost, Strathaird, Skye.
TNA quotes from Swire's book, saying: "The site of the old church of Kilmarie and of the stone circle whose proximity no doubt originally called it into being are now no longer to be seen. The ruins of the old church, I am told, were swept away by the sea during that great storm in the 1920s which also blew down the Dunvegan woods ... This church is said to have stood on the site of an older church of St. Maelrhuba (Servant of Peace) who was the patron saint of south-eastern Skye."
TNA adds that the circle was omitted from Burl's 2000 book.
Note: Does anyone have any old photographs, illustrations or drawings of this stone circle, swept away by the sea in the 1920s?
