Log Text: I had the great fortune of being shown around the row by Roy Goutté and some members of the TimeSeekers Clearance Group, who were responsible for revealing many of the stones. I would like to thank them for their hospitality and sharing their considerable knowledge of the site. It was a pleasure to meet such interesting people.
This row has recently been partially cleared and recorded by the TimeSeekers Clearance Group led by Roy Goutté who found previously unrecorded stones and a possible cist. This work also revealed a visual treat which is certainly worth mentioning. Along the entire length of the row until the western end is reached at a point they call The Terminal, Brown Gelly complete with cairn on top is completely invisible. However, at the Terminal the cairn at the top of Brown Gelly is suddenly revealed though the hill itself remains hidden from view (Goutté, 2016, 3) Another example of a very precise visual relationship between a row and its landscape. The cumulative evidence for these visual links illustrates that the stone rows were carefully placed within the landscape to acknowledge and celebrate them. Goutté notes a second visual link available from The Terminal. At this point he notes that Brown Willy is perfectly framed in the saddle of rising ground” (Goutté, 2016, 2). This is reminiscent of the view available from the lower end of the Yar Tor stone alignment on Dartmoor.
In common with all the longer rows this alignment is far from straight and Goutté has identified a point close to the tinners’ gully where the orientation of the row shifts. This point may have been of particular significance to the row builders or may indicate an extension to the original row.
Limited parking is available at SX 20389 80372. From here follow the path westward to the row.

Loch of Houlland submitted by pab on 28th Oct 2006. The broch at the Loch of Houlland is one of about 120 around the coast of Shetland. It is very close to the lighthouse at Echaness, which must have some of the most spectacular sea scenery in the UK. It would be hard to improve on the description given in the very informative guide I used in Shetland (written by Peter Guy: Walking the Coastline of Shetland, ISBN:1904746179) - "The broch dominates a small promontory which juts out from the NW into the loch. It is an impressive ruin with walls on ...
