Log Text: A visit after climbing the Fruin from Helensburgh, taking the 3 Lochs Way path through to the footbridge then following a good track north to the stone. An impressive feature, unfortunately broken into 4 pieces but that also gives it a certain charm. Local graffiti is disappointing to see, plenty of cup marks though, harder to make out rings. It's not in the best position, under power lines with trees around most of it but I imagine the spot was more impressive back in the day, still well worth a visit.

Log Text: Visited with a friend about a week after the summer solstice, to take photo's of the main two Brodick Castle standing stones at Mossend. As the sun set, both stones aligned very well with the sun as it passed over the summit of Beinn Nuis while setting to the WNW. Amazing conditions on a cracking evening.

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.
