Visit Notes

Saturday, 25th November 2006

These two standing stones are just metres from Cairn N. One lies flat on the ground while the other stands 1.6m tall. The upright stone is pointed, almost spearhead-shaped.

This visit was very late on a winter's afternoon and the evening sun shining on the ruddy surface of the stone made it glow in a beautiful way.
