Ballochroy submitted by howe on 9th Jun 2009. The three stone row viewed in a traditionally reported solistial alignment with the paps of Jura.
In fact, antiquarial descriptions of the site show that the row was linearly aligned with three cairns and a further standing stone directed toward a hill on the mainland. Onlt one cist of the cairns is now visible.

Pig Hill (S) submitted by thecaptain on 18th Mar 2007. It is a great pity that one of the stones has recently been broken, possibly by somebody driving a 4x4 over the moor (the tracks are everywhere), perhaps horses, or perhaps maybe just wanton vandalism, as a pathway runs right past this stone.
