| North Sannox Chambered Cairn | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 25th Aug 2016 | 3 | 4 | 5 | Found it on our second visit. Right under my nose a few metres to the left of the toilet block. | 11 | 1 |
| North Sannox Farm | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 21st Aug 2016 | 2 | 3 | 3 | All the forest trees have been felled so has a very stark, 'post apocalyptic' vibe over the whole hillside now. However the tomb now at least has a beautiful outlook over the sea which presumably it didn't have when in its deep forest. The logging operations don't seem to have harmed the stones fort...

| Mid Sannox Standing Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 21st Aug 2016 | 4 | 3 | 4 | Pity about the fence wire but still lovely | 11 | 3 |
| Largybeg Point | Stone Circle | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 22nd Aug 2016 | 4 | 5 | 4 | Superb weather today. Surprised no one has commented on the very obvious and exact alignment with Holy Island. There is a likely looking large cairn nearby. | 11 | 4 |
| Tormore 1 | Chambered Cairn | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Couldn't find | Way too boggy to get to sadly | 11 | 5 | ||||
| Machriewaterfoot Standing Stone | Standing Stone (Menhir) | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 23rd Aug 2016 | 5 | 4 | 4 | Park opposite second tee of golf course. Head over to tee and over to the right. Over a tiny brook and again head to the right. Just off the golf course in a field. There is a very helpful stile for access. | 11 | 6 |
| Auchagallon | Stone Circle | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 23rd Aug 2016 | 4 | 4 | 4 | I though this was perhaps a bit boring but the family liked it. I think it's the tiny enclosed off area that spoils the ambience. | 11 | 7 |
| Kings Cave | Cave or Rock Shelter | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 23rd Aug 2016 | 4 | 4 | 2 | Pretty strenuous circular walk, down and up the cliff. The northern path is easier so perhaps take that on the way back. Cave impressive and some of the carvings easily visible | 11 | 8 |
| Replica Bronze Age Round House at Brodick Castle | Modern Stone Circle etc | Scotland | Isle of Arran | Visited | 24th Aug 2016 | 5 | 5 | 4 | Lovely visit, we met the Bronze Age re-enactment chappie who turns out to be a retired Church of Scotland minister strangely enough. He gave a very engaging introduction to the Bronze Age which myself and my older teenage children enjoyed. He's there every Wednesday in the summer with his handleable... Read More |
