Log Text: Cawdor Stone was easy to visit but couldn't be accessed closely due to the field being in crop at my time of visit. Fortunately the stone is relatively close to the edge of the field for photographic purposes.

Log Text: I was somewhat underwhelmed by the Cerne Abbas Giant: drone pictures of the giant raised my expectations of the site. From ground level the chalk figure loses its impact.

Log Text: I visited Cerrig Pryfaid Stone Circle en route to the cairns and standing stones at Bwlch y Ddeufaen. The stones are relatively small and there are significant gaps but it is located adjacent to the path so why not visit.

Log Text: If you are visiting Chun Quoit (if not why not) it is a no brainer to take the path heading E for c. 330 yards to Chun Castle. The circular wall of the fort is impressive but the interior is somewhat disappointing.

Log Text: I visited North Uist on a Calmac Hopscotch trip to the Inner Hebrides. My itinerary was as follows: Oban to Barra (ferry), Barra to Eriskay (ferry), Eriskay to South Uist (causeway), South Uist to Benbecula (causeway), Benbecula to North Uist (causeway), North Uist to Berneray (causeway), Berneray to Harris (ferry), Harris to Lewis (road), Lewis to Ullapool (ferry). I would recommend this route to anyone wishing to explore the Inner Hebrides by car.
It is easy to find Clach an t-Sagairt once you are on North Uist. Clachan Sands is on the B893, c. 3.2 miles S of the Berneray Causeway between North Uist & Berneray Take the signed Clachan Sands Cemetary turn. After c. 130 yards it is possible to park up carefully at the entrance to Clachan Lodge. Walk 100 yards NW along the road then head N through machair grass for c. 60 yards to reach Clach an t-Sagairt Inscribed Stone.

Log Text: When I visited Clach Stei Lin Stone Circle I was not aware of Canmore's classification of the site. I assumed it was a single standing stone and viewed it accordingly. If you visit be sure to make a careful search of stones to the S of the standing stone.
