Nether Largie standing stone
Date Added: 27th Mar 2016
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Argyll)
Visited: Yes
Nether Largie standing stone submitted by caradoc68 on 18th Aug 2012. This standing stone is in the middle of a field, a short distance of the footpath. The farmer does not like you being there and might put a angry looking bull in the field to put visitors off. Cant find a lot written about this stone or why it seems to be leaning at 45 degrees and pointing to the southeast.

Temple Wood S submitted by funsize on 4th Jun 2007. This is a cracking site. Large cobble mound with slivers of upright slabs and a central cist. Very accessible and one of many impressive sites within a small area of the Kilmartin Valley. This shows the larger cairn, there is a smaller one ringed by trees a stones throw to the south west.

Hill o'Many Stanes submitted by DrewParsons on 14th Oct 2010. Hill o'Many Stanes on a sunny day in September 2010. It had been described to me as a mini Carnac so I was somewhat underwhelmed by it. With less expectations it would make a nice detour to see.

Lochbuie Kerb Cairn
Date Added: 27th Mar 2016
Site Type: Cairn
Country: Scotland (Isle of Mull)
Visited: Yes
Lochbuie Kerb Cairn submitted by Nick on 2nd Nov 2003. Set in a group of trees around 100m NW of the stone circle, this rather ruinous kerb cairn still retains sufficient structure to make it worth a look. It is about 6.5m across, and has a 'false' entrance to the SE. The stones on the northern and southern arcs are still pretty much in situ.

Log Text: My most favourite site. Managed to visit a couple of times a day and had the place to ourselves for most of them. It truly is the most magical place. We experimented with the sound/echo effects here and at the Stones of Stenness and the results were fascinating.
