Windhill
Windhill submitted by cosmic : Windhill near Muir of Ord at NH532483 has two standing stones separated by a main road and some housing. The West stone is actually at 531 483 with the East stones (one standing and clear evidence of a second) at NH 533483. Without the present day buildings they would clearly be visible from each other.
