Log Text: When visited in 2013 car parking was available at SX 62524 61120. Recently (2016) this car parking area has been closed making it much more difficult to access this part of the moor. The alternative car parking location is at SX 64342 59548. From here the easiest way to reach the row is probably to head north alongside the River Erme which will need to be crossed at some point. A decent map and reliable GPS will be essential.

St Ninian's Isle
Date Added: 9th Feb 2020
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Scotland (Shetland)
Visited: Yes on 11th Jun 2019. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
St Ninian's Isle submitted by pab on 17th Nov 2006. St Ninian’s Isle lies off the western coast of the most southerly part of the Shetland Mainland. It is linked to the mainland by a beautiful stretch of sand (called a tombola), which locals advised us would only be covered by the sea in extreme storms every decade or so. It is an absolutely wonderful place.
St Ninian’s Isle was the site of a valuable find of a hoard of ecclesiastical silver-ware in July 1958, and it was also found to have been in use through the Iron and Bronze ages.

St Elvis Farm
Date Added: 9th Dec 2021
Site Type: Chambered Tomb
Country: Wales (Pembrokeshire)
Visited: Yes on 18th Jun 2021. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 2 Access 3
St Elvis Farm submitted by Adam Stanford on 18th Nov 2004. Located on a N-W facing slope, the tomb is one of three coastal burial sites in south-west Wales which appear to have been purposely concealed from the sea. A ‘double cromlech’ with 2 capstones is supported by two uprights. There are traces of a mound between both chambers and on the western side of the western chamber. However, both structures are today badly damaged. During the latter years of the 19th century, a tenant farmer from nearby St Elvis Farm was asked to stop ‘blasting’ bits...

Log Text: This is not an easy stone row to get to. As well as a decent map, stout footwear is a must. Progress is likely to be slow and it is a good idea to allocate a whole day and enjoy the amazing if somewhat arduous landscape that you will inevitably encounter. Parking is available at NF 84842 73473. From here walk uphill to the fence at around NF 85127 73333. Follow the fence until around NF 85794 72488 and then head towards the long cairn at NF 85684 72046. This cairn is well worth visiting and may offer an opportunity for a break before continuing towards Sgealtrabhal. Taking care to avoid the lochans you will arrive at a deep ditch which needs to be carefully crossed. From here head towards the summit. This row should only be visited when the visibility is good.
Skara Brae
Date Added: 8th Oct 2015
Site Type: Ancient Village or Settlement
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 8th Oct 2015
Skara Brae submitted by SandyG on 8th Oct 2015. The walk from the visitor centre to the site is marked with stones representing special events in history. The first one denotes landing on the moon in 1969. The last time I was at Skara Brae was the day after the landing. So the distance between the wall and the first stone is also the time between my visits. (7th June 2015).
