drolaf visited on 7th Aug 2024 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 the signposting much better now, but the kissing gates are for skinny folk only! there were no livestock in the field. the site is overgrown with nettles and thistles. its 700m from the nearest car park place yes its been demolished 2x and rebuilt but it has a good feel about it. ok the stones may not all be in exactly the original place but its nice to have a RSC with all the stones upright. on a hilltop so feels a bit like Tomnaverie and Aikey.
