Two stones on the shore of Loch Eyre. Superb. There was possibly once a third.
Update October 2019: This alignment is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for the Eyre Alignment, which includes a description, a plan of the alignment from a recent survey in August 2017, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, plus access information and a list of online resources for more information.
The row is also recorded as Canmore ID 11333 (Standing Stones) and scheduled as SM3485 (Sornaichean Coir Fhinn, standing stones, Eyre) on the Historic Environment Scotland website.
