Log Text: It would be easy to drive past this capstone located beside Little Quoit farm c. 0.80 miles E of St Columb Major on the road to Roche. There is no sign for the stone on the roadside and parking is difficult.

Log Text: I was curious to investigate the Devil's Jump marked on the OS Map close to Carweather Medieval Village. The natural rock feature consists of two granite crags in a wooded valley. I couldn't find out much information on the net. The biggest surprise was a slab of rock resembling a bearded devil on the S crag.

Log Text: I accessed the Devil's Bowling Green from the public road to Loch Trool. The walk is 9 miles there and back over boggy and rough ground so should be properly planned. Walking directions are available on the main page.

Log Text: It is surprising that there are substantial remains of Delfour Ring Cairn given its proximity to Mid & Easter Delfour Farms: most cairns located in arable land have been robbed out for construction of buildings and walls over the ages. There is a standing stone on the SW perimeter of Delfour Ring Cairn, sole survivor of an outer stone circle. The ring cairn has fared better with discernible inner and outer rings enclosed by large kerb stones.

Log Text: I agree with The Captain that the site could be a ruined dolmen: there are multiple large recumbent stones in the vicinity of the standing stone.
Deepdale Stones
Date Added: 3rd Aug 2025
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Orkney)
Visited: Yes on 7th Aug 2012
Deepdale Stones submitted by TimPrevett on 22nd Jun 2006. The surviving Deepdale stone, looking over Stenness Loch, in the direction of Brodgar, Stenness, and Maeshowe. Unstan tomb is just behind the stone on the first spur of land. This stone is about 6 feet high, but narrower than my hand.

Log Text: Deepdale Standing Stone is located c. 70 yards NE of the A965 with a distant view of the Ring of Brodgar, Stones of Stenness and Maeshowe. The erect slab is not spectacular but worth a short walk for the sea view. A second stone is marked on OS Mapping but it has been removed.

Log Text: Davidstow Moor Barrow is located on the NE corner of Davidstow Moor. Despite being adjacent to the Davidstow Airfield road there are so many millitary mounds on the moor that it is possible to drive past it.

Log Text: It is often difficult to park up in the vicinity of monuments close to busy roads. Luckily , in this instance there are 2 lay-by's at the junction of a minor road signed for Balloch with the A822 heading S out of Crieff at NN 8580 2012. Walk across the A822 to a gate into a field. Dargill Standing Stone is located c. 110 yards SE of the gate.

Dalginross submitted by postman on 13th Aug 2013. Peace and quiet, some cars may have gone past, but I didn't notice them.

Log Text: It is ironic that this four-poster is located next to the cemetery on the SE of Dalginross: according to trove.scot/place/24857 an urn filled with ashes was found in the site in the 1800's. It is listed as dunmoid, Dalginross in trove.scot.

Log Text: If you are visiting the Clava Cairns at Balnuaran it is a short detour to Dalcross Mains Clava Cairn. This unrestored site is an interesting contrast to the restored cairns. It has been subjected to extensive stone removal leaving a semi-circle of kerb stones on a grassy knoll with trees round the perimeter.

Log Text: Cuween Hill Chambered Cairn is easy to access from a dedicated car park at HY 36684 12850. Cuween Hill Tomb is signed off the Old Finstown Road at HY 36889 12907. It is a good idea to have a powerful torch or headlamp in your rucksack when visiting Cuween Hill Chambered Cairn to improve your photographs.

Log Text: Directions to Cults Loch Crannogs: Take the New Luce turn off the A75 at the petrol station on the SE edge of Castle Kennedy. After c. 0.5 mile take the right turn signed for Nivens Yard. Follow this potholed gravel track for c. 75 yards to a gate on the left. There is room to park at the gate. Walk E through the gate for c. 350 yards to reach a gate into a field on the left. Follow a track NE towards Cults Loch. The Central Crannog can be viewed from the W bank of the loch. The NW Crannog is located on a circular promontory in the NW corner of the loch. My route is viewable on Cults Loch Crannogs. On a cautionary note, there are often beef cattle in the field beside Cults Loch.

Culquhasen-SE submitted by markj99 on 11th Oct 2024. Culquhasen SE Cairn viewed from S.
(View photo, vote or add a comment)
Log Text: The walk to Culquhasen SE Cairn is not straightforward. This route involves a walk of 0.25 miles along the A747 Port William road. Care should be taken: cars tend to drive fast around a sharp corner. The cross country route is an assault course: It includes crossing 3 dry stane dykes and a burn but no electric fences fortunately. Wellies are essential for this walk due to the burn crossing. My route is viewable on Culquhasen SE.

Log Text: When I visited Cullernie Ring Cairn the field was in grass. I parked carefully in the wide junction of the A96 with Lower Cullernie Farm. There is a gate opposite the junction. This enabled me to walk safely along the margin of the field back to Cullernie Ring Cairn. It is not well preserved but it is still worth a visit if the field is not in crop.
