Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Isle of Skye)
Visited: Yes on 17th Apr 2010
Dun Boreraig Stone submitted by Andy B on 17th Apr 2010. The stone is about 4' high, 2' across and 6" thick. It faces south towards the sea at Loch Eishort and sits on a small mound of boulders placed around its base. Tradition suggests that the stone marks the burial site of a body or bodies washed ashore, a custom common on Skye.

Dun Maraig
Date Added: 17th Sep 2010
Site Type: Stone Fort or Dun
Country: Scotland (Isle of Skye)
Visited: Yes on 13th Apr 2010
Dun Maraig submitted by Creative Commons on 13th Apr 2010. The tidal island of Dun Maraig in Poll na h-Ealaidh has the vague remains of a fort on it. Once it was connected to the shore by a causeway, and it is still possible to walk across to it at very low tide.
Perhaps more interestingly, the small island was won as the star prize in a 1994 German TV game show by a Stefan Schluznus of Bremen. A pretty useless, but fun, sort of prize.
