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: Limited car parking is available at NC 66181 58635. Follow the road on foot westward to a gateway at NC 65931 58621. This is a surprisingly busy road and care should be taken. From the gateway make your way across open moorland to the row.

Date Added: 8th Jan 2019
Site Type: Multiple Stone Rows / Avenue
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 5th Sep 2016. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 5 Access 3
Badanloch submitted by SandyG on 27th Feb 2017. The stones forming the lower end of the alignment. The juxtaposition of water and mountains probably formed a focus for the ritual activities carried out at this place. View from the east (Scale 1m). 5 September 2016.

Log Text: Roadside car parking is available at NC 79171 35108. From here walk west across the open moorland for about 900m to the row. The ground is uneven and a map essential.

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.

Log Text: Road side car parking is available at ND 26223 43579. Cross the road and head towards the wooden stile. Then head for the gap in the trees and follow the forest ride until you reach the clearing at its end. The row is in front of you although it may take a while to locate it depending on the vegetation.

Log Text: This is a tricky one to get to. Car parking is available at ND 31885 40851. Follow the old railway line south to ND 31592 40498. From here walk uphill across uneven open moorland. Alternatively access may be available from the nearby Groat’s Loch, South stone row.

Log Text: Car parking is available at ND 31885 40851. Follow the signposting to the Cairn O’Get. At ND 31523 40988 follow the track north to ND 31713 42049. After visiting this row it makes sense to have a look at Watenan, West also. Watenan, West is only about 400m away to the north west but the ground is uneven and care should be taken to avoid the frequent boggy areas.
Battle Moss Stone Rows

Log Text: Car parking is available at ND 30598 43565. This car park serves the Loch of Yarrows Archaeological Trail. Follow the path downhill towards the loch passing a broch on your left at ND 30831 43495. Follow the side of the loch to ND 31275 44000 where a gate provides access to the stone row. There are several broadly contemporary archaeological sites in the area which are all worth visiting.

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.
