Pobull Fhinn
Date Added: 9th Feb 2012
Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (North Uist)
Visited: Yes on 27th Sep 2011
Pobull Fhinn submitted by pab on 27th Sep 2011. Built on a artificial platform, leveling, this oval 'circle' is described in early RCAHms reports as being 122ft E-W and 100ft N-S.
The reports state that there are 23 or 24 stones in total, but the amount of heather/bracken at the time of our visit meant that only the larger ones were visible.

Tobar Chaluim Chille (Mull)
Date Added: 22nd May 2011
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: Scotland (Isle of Mull)
Visited: Would like to visit
Tobar Chaluim Chille (Mull) submitted by KiwiBetsy on 6th Oct 2006. Tobar Chaluim Chille today is marked only by a pair of distinguished lichen clad stones but the landowner speaks of a stick holding a cup in recent history. The water is apparently still used in St Kilda’s Church, Lochbuie for christenings and it may be the unidentified well near Loch Buie whose medicinal properties were mentioned in a 17th century account of the area.

Dun Carloway
Date Added: 24th Sep 2011
Site Type: Broch or Nuraghe
Country: Scotland (Isle of Lewis)
Visited: Yes on 7th May 2011
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
Date Added: 9th Feb 2012
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Scotland (Isle of Lewis)
Visited: Yes on 22nd Sep 2011
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.

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.
