Log Text: Corrimony Clava Cairn has been excavated at least twice: first in 1830, then again in 1952. The central chamber was covered in 1830 but it is now open to the sky. Trove.scot Place 12256 states that 4 of the 11 outer stones are modern additions and 2 stones have been reset in modern times. With all this interference there is some doubt as to the authenticity of the clava cairn in its current form.

Log Text: I appreciate that conserving the circle in some way is better than removing it, however, surrounding the circle by a modern housing estate has negated any air of antiquity that the stone circle may have possessed.

Log Text: Lingdowey Burn S Cairn is one of the Cairnerzean Fell Cairn Group on open moorland. The cairns vary in states of preservation from entirely robbed out to relatively intact. Lingdowey Burn S Cairn is similar to its neighbour, Lingdowey Burn N Cairn. It has a scatter of stones over the entire cairn however the addition of a modern cairn and shelter in the centre of the cairn have reduced its authenticity.

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.
