Swinside visited on 1st Aug 2009 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 1 This site was not road-signed when we visited. We drove down to the loch and saw the site almost by accident on the return journey. Glad we found it!
susankewn visited on 1st Jan 2008 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Parked closeby .. and went through the gate to find this little site not far across the field. A quiet, welcoming spot. Stones have fallen .. but it is worth a look ...

A bank encloses the stones. On this bank, to the SSW, lies a 2m long stone with over twenty cupmarks on it. This stone is aligned with the southern moonset. Finally, a 12m diameter circle of twelve stones, all about 1.7m high, was erected around the horseshoe. To the ESE 5.5m outside the circle, two stones stand 2.5m apart making an entrance. The northern stone is apparently aligned with the equinoctial sunrise.
Canmore site no. 24891.
From Aberfeldy take the A827 west towards Kenmore. About 6 kilometres along this road on the left (south side) is a small road leading to Tullichuil farm. Park carefully at this entrance, and there is a gate leading in to the field on the west side of the road. The circle is plainly visible from here. Ensure the gate is shut properly as there are often sheep in the field.
