Ask permission at the farm, parking is easy at the road end as there is plenty of room. Not visible from the road from Craignure, you can only see this heading south from Salen.
Set out on a low mound, with a couple of possible kerb stones still in situ, there is one upright stone (about 1.3m tall) and one recumbent here. The 'kerb stones' may in fact be other recumbents - it's a bit hard to tell. Have a look at the photograph and make your own mind up! The stones ...

Commonbank submitted by Nick on 5th Nov 2002. Looking to the east over the row. Take the turning into Glencarse from the A90 between Perth and Dundee. Head NNW just after the hotel, and follow signs for Gouktoun. Take a right, then right again for Balthayock, and follow this road for about two miles. The stones lie within the farm lands of Commonbank Farm, lying to the west of the road. They are accessible via the farm road and through the fields, but permission should be sought from the farmer as stock are in the fields. I found the ...

Visited: Yes on 8th Jun 2016. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 4 Access 4
Lochbuie Kerb Cairn submitted by Nick on 2nd Nov 2003. Set in a group of trees around 100m NW of the stone circle, this rather ruinous kerb cairn still retains sufficient structure to make it worth a look. It is about 6.5m across, and has a 'false' entrance to the SE. The stones on the northern and southern arcs are still pretty much in situ.

Craigneich Stones submitted by SandyG on 3rd Jan 2018. Stone A. This substantial stone does not form part of the alignment but is likely to have originally formed an integral part of this significant ritual landscape.

Threestoneburn submitted by Creative Commons on 19th May 2013. Also known as Ilderton Stone Circle. The view here is easterly, with your back to the forest fence, looking back down the valley towards Threestoneburn House.
Some of my friends taken on the long walk here would have said, "OK, it's a stone circle but it's hardly Stonehenge or Calanais, is it?".
No it's not Stonehenge or Calanais; it's a north-east stone circle. We do it differently up here. We put rough stones in a rough circle. Job done. Not for us this hacking great lumps of stone...

Log Text: This is not an easy row to get to and some might wonder whether the effort is worth it. Bridleways shown on Ordnance Survey maps do not exist and visiting it on the hottest day of the year is not recommended. Sadly in common with many rows next to forestry you will need to watch out for ticks. The route described below worked for me, but alternatives may exist. Park at NT 96325 23259. Cross the bridge and follow the footpath to NT 96195 22029. From here the best way is to follow the quad bike track on the southern side of the wall. This will take you to the access gate into Threestoneburn Wood at NT 96970 20964. From here follow the forest track to the row and circle.

There is a fine standing stone at NT 78747 18908 which is worth checking out. From here follow the track to NT 79205 19048 then head north.
