Tormore 2 submitted by AngieLake on 9th Sep 2008. Going by my sketch on the day, this view is looking towards a gap in the hills to the NE.
[Checked this site grid ref on www.danu.co.uk/gallery/info/stones/mosscairn.html. Calling it "Moss Farm Cairn", "grid ref NR 90590 32367", they say that it is: "An excavated cairn circle which lies in a field south of trackway to Machrie Moor just west of Moss Farm."
It was definitely between Moss Farm Road Circle and the main Machrie Moor circles.]

Machrie Moor 5 submitted by jeffrep on 30th Jul 2013. Machrie Moor 5, sometimes called "Fingal's Cauldron Seat," consists of two almost perfectly preserved rings of granite boulders.
The Machrie Moor Stone Circles are located at the end of a 1-1/2 mile track that is off of the A841 (some 200 yards south of the bridge where the main road crosses the Machrie Water) and three miles north of Blackwaterfoot in the western part of the Isle of Arran in North Ayrshire, Scotland.

Machrie Moor 10 submitted by AngieLake on 8th Sep 2008. Stones at the SW of the Moss Farm Road (or Machrie Moor 10) circle. The stone on the left resembles the head and shoulders of a hooded person. It faces into the circle, and towards the NE and Midsummer sunrise. There's a dip in the hills at NE, and my ritual movement dowsing headed out of the circle in that direction. Its inner face also seems to have a circular carving.

North Sannox Farm submitted by Andy B on 7th Mar 2017. There's something brooding and post-apocalyptic about the landscape around this chambered cairn...
Visited August 2016

Log Text: All the forest trees have been felled so has a very stark, 'post apocalyptic' vibe over the whole hillside now. However the tomb now at least has a beautiful outlook over the sea which presumably it didn't have when in its deep forest. The logging operations don't seem to have harmed the stones fortunately

Log Text: Lovely visit, we met the Bronze Age re-enactment chappie who turns out to be a retired Church of Scotland minister strangely enough. He gave a very engaging introduction to the Bronze Age which myself and my older teenage children enjoyed. He's there every Wednesday in the summer with his handleable artefacts and weapons, and rather smokey fire.

Log Text: Pretty strenuous circular walk, down and up the cliff. The northern path is easier so perhaps take that on the way back. Cave impressive and some of the carvings easily visible

Log Text: I though this was perhaps a bit boring but the family liked it. I think it's the tiny enclosed off area that spoils the ambience.
