markj99 visited on 4th Sep 2021 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 4 While I was travelling back home from John O' Groats, I decided to revisit South Yarrows Archaeological Trail with a fresh eye, having 10 years of antiquarian meanderings under my belt. I found that I understood more details of the sites on my revisit. South Yarrows Archaeological Trail is thoroughly recommended!
