SandyG visited on 6th Sep 2016 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 2 Access: 1 Car parking is available at NC 72361 39899. From here it is a very long walk to the stone row. Follow the path leading south from the parking area to NC 72471 37400. Then follow the forestry fence to NC 72559 36476. Climb the stile and then follow the forest ride. It may be best to keep to the left hand side. At NC 71904 35164 cross the forest track and follow a second ride to a forest clearing at NC 71715 34933. A standing stone close to this point is not part of the row. From here the row is about 130m to the west. Having visited the row it is a long way back and you need to allow plenty of time. Alternatively if you have access to a bicycle it may be possible to follow forest tracks from a car parking area at NC 69045 42692. Either way this is not an easy row to get to.
Update November 2019: This fan-shaped multiple stone row is featured on the Stone Rows of Great Britain website - see their entry for Loch Rimsdale, which includes a description, a plan of the row and its associated cairn, photographs of the rows, access information and a list of online resources for more information.
The row is also recorded as Canmore ID 6153 (Loch Rimsdale Stone Row) and as MHG10595 (Stone Rows, Loch Rimsdale) on the Highland HER.
The SRoGB asks visitors to note it is a very long walk to this stone row, so leave plenty of time. See their section on Access Information for more precise instructions on how to reach the row.
