South Yarrows Broch
Date Added: 9th Feb 2012
Site Type: Broch or Nuraghe
Country: Scotland (Caithness)
Visited: Yes on 18th Aug 2011
South Yarrows Broch submitted by pab on 18th Aug 2011. SolarMegalith's photo PID80083 - being of curious temperament, I just had to see what was in the dark patch of SolarMegalith's photo, so I opened it on my PC.
I was very surprised to be able to get this amount of additional detail from the image on the Portal: apparently able to see what was under the water!
Closer look - especially at the lower lines of stone - showed an excellent reflection instead. I found it interesting though how much more detail could be seen, even in a compress...

Harris, Rubh' An Teampuill submitted by PAB on 26th Feb 2019. Cup-shaped markings near Rubh' An Teampuill broch.
While looking for some cup marks reported on an information board, I noticed these - not having any grid ref etc at the time to guide our search, I wondered if these might have been the ones.

Dun Carloway submitted by swatson on 28th Aug 2004. This impressive Broch is near Carloway in the west of the Island of Lewis. Sadly time did not permit detailed exploration but that's something to look forward to at a later date. There is enough of this tower standing to indicate the method and the superb workmanship involved in it's construction.

Steinacleit submitted by pab on 22nd Sep 2011. Central cairn looking NW to the sea.
The stones encircling this cairn define a significant area on this exposed hilltop.
The Interpretation Panel at the car park area reports that the area has not been fully investigated or excavated, so its original usage is unclear but it offers the following suggestion:
"An Ancient Farm: Are the stones the remains of a burial cairn or a stone circle? Using the limited evidence, Stenacleit is probably best interpreted as a prehistoric settlem...

Callanish I submitted by pab on 19th Oct 2011. Although nearby Callanish II and III can be seen fairly well from the main site, it isn't very easy to appreciate that from photos - so hopefully this composite will help those who have not (yet) been able to get to this glorious place.
