Log Text: One stone is missing, and a couple may be in the wrong position. a good circle though. the flankers are smart.
The blurb on the board says 'RSCs are on crests of hills with a southerly views'.
But.. Midmar is below the crest and has a long view down the valley easterly!
Ones on tops of hills have 360 degree views (eg Tomnaverie, Aikey )
The recumbents are all on the southern quarter.

Log Text: I visited the mound in 2022 and inside 2023. you aren't allowed to take photos inside.
The tour guide was up to date and covered the neolithic and much later norse visitors and runes. There is a very good article on the passage alignment in the 2023 issue of the Orkney Archaeology review £10.
https://shop.orkneyarchaeologysociety.org.uk/product-category/books/
Their website has lots more info on Maes and Orkney and it is only £15 to join, £10 for pensioners (you get sent the annual review)

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.

Log Text: impressive double ring of granite stones. Like the other Machrie sites 'excavated' by Bryce the 'Destroyer', the centre is lumpy and may not represent original structure.

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.

Log Text: a typical banked kerbed RSC. now in open (ish) land. felled ex forestry. i suppose it needs renaming to louden ex wood.
there a quite a few loose stones around the bank, i wasn't sure if these were original or had been put there by visitors. a fire had been set behind the recumbent a really stupid thing to do in ex pine forestry which could burn very easily.
a fine site-splendid stones.
