Battle Moss Stone Rows

Battle Moss Stone Rows submitted by Andy B on 4th Jul 2006. Very difficult to find, even with a map. Realising I was on the wrong side of the loch, and the other side was very marshy, I took this above telephoto shot of the row and gave up. Unless you are very dedicated, stick to the more impressive Hill O' Many Stanes nearby.
