St. Ninian's Bay submitted by SumDoood on 21st May 2016. I haven't yet visited this site, but took these from the road thinking that the peninsula looks like a good contender for the south of Scotland's equivalent of the Ness of Brodgar. There you are, I've said it now.

Log Text: Well signposted and the stones are literally in the pub garden by the church. A small car park near some steps leading up the stones is free of charge. Not very atmospheric though with tables and chairs around and rabbit hutches nearby!

Log Text: Well sign poated, as is The Cove in the village. A couple of parking spaces available near the gate leading to the circle. I could only look from the wall at the edge of the field as it was extremely muddy- the circle is on farmland with permitted access and had been used for cattle so was very churned up. Could of been amazing going to the stones with the low winter sun

We have the NorthEast Trilithon on the left with the morning-shadow of Stones 6/7/107 falling across it.
Bluestone 32-C is in the shadow of Stone 6.
It was a lovely morning!

Log Text: £14.50 admission fee now, English Heritage site, a good 25 minute walk up to the stones from the controversial visitors centre, buses do run for people with children or mobility problems, if you want the audio tour it's another £2- a rip off l think

Log Text: A very interesting burial camber. A long walk require from the National Trust car park (charges apply) , the sign post said 1 1/2 miles but l took a route near the Uffington Horse so it was nearly four miles there on very muddy paths. Great site though, reasonably well sign posted (although l did wonder when l was a mile down the track leading to it and qondered whether l had passed it!) Very clean area, atmospheric but isolated
