Log Text: Car parking is available at NC 72361 39899. From here it is a very long walk to the stone row. Follow the path leading south from the parking area to NC 72471 37400. Then follow the forestry fence to NC 72559 36476. Climb the stile and then follow the forest ride. It may be best to keep to the left hand side. At NC 71904 35164 cross the forest track and follow a second ride to a forest clearing at NC 71715 34933. A standing stone close to this point is not part of the row. From here the row is about 130m to the west. Having visited the row it is a long way back and you need to allow plenty of time. Alternatively if you have access to a bicycle it may be possible to follow forest tracks from a car parking area at NC 69045 42692. Either way this is not an easy row to get to.

Log Text: Sadly, car parking is available on top of the row. The stones visible next to the parking area are probably the result of the road widening work.

Log Text: Car parking is available at ND 16869 50479. From here follow the wind farm road to ND 15079 49832 then head west towards the row. In 2016 a twin wire electric fence was encountered but was high enough to pass under. Obviously care should be taken and it also best to assume that it is live.

Tom Nan Carragh submitted by cosmic on 4th Aug 2004. Tom Nan Carragh at NJ011246 in Highland region is a dog leg of three stones. The end stones are not visible form each other due to the lie of the land although all three stones are about seven feet high and about 100m apart. The bearing between the East stone and the middle is about 40 degrees whilst between the middle and West it is nearer 80 degrees.

Inverewe
Date Added: 16th Feb 2020
Site Type: Class I Pictish Symbol Stone
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 13th Jul 2018. My rating: Condition 2 Ambience 3 Access 5
Inverewe submitted by andy_h on 14th Aug 2006. To be found in the ruined churchyard up the turning by the campsite, re-used as a grave slab. The stone is located at the back end of the ruined church and is a little hard to find, as it is very worn and looks much like other grave slabs around it. It depicts a crescent and a 'V'. Another Pictish stone can be seen in Gairloch Heritage Museum, which depicts a fish and the lower part of an eagle.
