Access: It is advisable to park on the main road and walk but occasionally the gate is open and you may be ble to drive quite close. From the main road Northton to Leverburgh on the righ hand side park at Kyles Lodge and Cottage. On reaching the shore keep on the seaward side on the fence and follow the ege of the grass for about 100mt. You will see and old ruinous stone wall that comes down to the shore. Stand at the end of the wall and note the left (East) end of the rocky headland. There the rock carving are on the smoother part. Be carefull on hide tides and rough weather!!
