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.

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.

Log Text: Car parking is available at NR 72587 52099 which involves a long walk north along the beach or highway to NR 72992 52713 where the track to the stones leaves the public road. Alternatively you may wish to drive up the track and seek permission to park closer to the stones. The stones themselves are easy to find and are relatively close to a prominent modern farm building.
