Dun Ibrig submitted by markj99 on 9th Oct 2020. Approaching Dun Ibrig there is more water than land.

Log Text: It is ironic that Dun Ibrig is so close to civilisation (Scarinish) and so difficult to access. On my visit the marshland approach was waterlogged and Dun Ibrig was surrounded by a moat of deep water.

Log Text: The stone remains on Dun Hiader are difficult to interpret but, there is no doubt that the steep-sided dun would provide an excellent defensive location.

Log Text: There is a c. 3.5 foot stone in moorland around 50 feet SE of Kensaleyre Cairns, a pair of cairns on the E edge of the A87 to Portree. It seems probable that this stone had a relationship to the nearby cairns. It is listed under Canmore ID 11325 along with Kensaleye Cairns.

Log Text: There is a slight curve to the 3 stones in this row lending some weight to the argument that they were once part of a stone circle. The construction of a road through a stone circle could have occurred in the past.

Log Text: I was so focused on the admittedly impressive standing stone and the views from it that I failed to notice it was erected in the centre of a ruined cairn. Oops!

Log Text: It is a pleasant change to find a standing stone conveniently located on the roadside close to a lay-by. Look out for a recumbent stone on the opposite side of the road.
Carn Liath (Kensaleyre)
Date Added: 28th May 2025
Site Type: Chambered Cairn
Country: Scotland (Isle of Skye)
Visited: Yes on 9th Aug 2011. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 3
Carn Liath (Kensaleyre) submitted by jeffrep on 25th Jul 2013. The Carn Liath Chambered Cairn is located in a field off the A87 just south of Kensaleyre opposite the turn off to Rhenetra on the Isle of Skye, Highland, Scotland. It is the largest of a cluster of cairns here, and is easy to see from a distance, because the stones from which it is constructed are covered with such white lichen that they appear to have been painted.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: There are two difficulties in visiting Carn Liath (Kensaleyre): the lack of parking and the lack of a path. My best compromise was to park in the Church of Scotland Car Park, walk c. 300 yards along the A87 then take a cross country route c. 650 yards WSW across rough boggy ground to Carn Liath (Kensaleyre). My walking route can be viewed on Carn Liath (Kensaleyre).

Carn Liath (Skye) submitted by Andy B on 13th Apr 2010. A neolithic chambered burial cairn above the east shore of Loch Snizort. A couple of the chambers are discernible, but most of the stones have been tumbled, or plundered for dyke building.

Log Text: I was staying in Monkstadt for a week so I thought it would be relatively easy to visit Carn Liath (Kilmuir) located c. 1 mile N along the coast. As usual, 1 mile on the ground was a harder proposition than 1 mile on the map. The terrain was rough and boggy in places making progress slow. I was able to find the remains of the cairn on the N side of a dry stane dyke running ENE-WSW: The cairn has been bisected by the dry stane dyke. Canmore suggests that the S half of the cairn has been reduced to ground level. I observed two standing stones around 6 feet from the edge of the W Arc. They may be remnants of a peristalith.

Tote, Skye submitted by Andy B on 13th Apr 2010. Probably the only standing stone on Skye that has (barely) visible Pictish carving. The fence is an abomination.

After 1.3 miles turn right for Peinmore/Tote. Stay on the narrow road for c. 0.3 mile to reach the left dead end turn for Tote.
