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.

Log Text: The Grey Man of the Merrick is an unusual rock site in a valley c. 1 mile SE of the summit of Merrick, the tallest hill in the Galloway Forest. There are multiple routes available but I have walked my route twice: the path is relatively obvious for most of the route and there are good landmarks confirming accurate navigation. The Grey Man of the Merrick is located on a rockface at the top of a valley. The illusion of the bearded man requires an eastern view across the rock face looking towards Benyellary. Directions to the Grey Man are available in the main page.

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: 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: 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: 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 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.

The Devil's Quoit submitted by Adam Stanford on 16th Nov 2006. Devils Quoit (PEM 25) also known as Broomhill Barrows near Freshwater West. I would suggest this is a collapsed burial chamber rather than earthfast (as stated by Nash 2006, Daniel 1950 and others). I say this because of what looks like a large collapsed orthostat that is now visible and that the capstone rests on. The monument consists of five visible stones. 1 capstone, 2 orthosatats, 1 collapsed or horizontal stone and another vertical stone resting on the eastern side of the capstone. I woul...

Harold Stone (Bosherton) submitted by Bladup on 13th Sep 2013. Harold Stone (Bosherton) - it looked to my eyes to have maybe once been a side slab of a ruined chamber [quoit], and the stones around it - field clearance or part of a chambered cairn?

Log Text: I agree with Bladup: the standing stone could be a remnant of a chamber. It is erected in a grassy mound studded with exposed stones possibly indicating a ruined cairn.

Access is easy to find if approaching from Stackpole warren, after entering the double gate enclosure from the woods, before leaving through the second gate in front of you. look right and you'll see a side gate that leads to the stone.

Continue W for c. 500 yards to reach a path heading S. Take the path S heading for a forest. After you exit the forest turn W into a field for c. 120 yards to reach Devil's Quoit (Stackpole Warren). My walking route is viewable on Devil's Quoit (Stackpole Warren).
