Giant's Graves (Isle of Arran) submitted by tsujigiri on 28th Jul 2005. First shot from behind the site. The day was a bit rainy off and on and the overcast sky made the lighting a bit iffy for my digital camera. The climb up was very invigorating and well worth the effort.
Unfortuneately, I neglected to get a shot from the front of the main site. Maybe next time I'm up there.

Site Type: Stone Circle
Country: Scotland (Isle of Arran)
Visited: Yes on 27th Apr 2023. My rating: Condition 5 Ambience 4 Access 4
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.
