Standing Stones in Highlands

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a brief mention of these stones in their entry for Toscaig, Applecross, Ross & Cromarty.

TNA says: "The Cambridge biologist J. Havelock Fidler described finding three standing stones in the gorgeous little remote hamlet of Toscaig in his book Ley Lines (1983), which neither the Applecross Local History Society, myself, nor anyone else has been able to locate (the OS grid reference cited above is simply an approximation of their locality). In an updated version of his work, Mr Fidler seems to indicate they can be found a short distance south-east of the village, at the end of an alignment which is supposed to start at Fearnmore (NG 724 605), at the northern edge of the peninsula. If they exist, could anyone perhaps enlighten us as to their whereabouts…?"

Note: Does anyone know if these stones exist? Do you have an accurate grid reference, photographs, illustrations or information to add?
