Torhousekie stone circle
Date Added: 1st Aug 2019
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Dumfries and Galloway)
Visited: Would like to visit
Torhousekie stone circle submitted by Anne T on 25th Jun 2019. In penance for me having cursed the White Van Man who pulled up in the layby immediately after us and sat there for ages, I had to walk around the stones to avoid getting him in my photos. Just after he'd pulled away, the heavens opened and the rain absolutely pelted down. The raindrops on my photo of the central stones (looking back towards the layby) are a reminder of how large and hail-like the drops were. Serves me right for being impatient!!

Ri Cruin submitted by caradoc68 on 23rd Feb 2012. This lovely cairn dates from the Bronze Age and is pretty new when it comes to the Kilmartin landscape. Hidden away in some trees just of the beaten track with its two kist's, this Cairn has a lot to offer with its large Kist's and its rock art of axeheads and possibly a caving of a boat in one of these kists !!.
