Tirai (Standing Stone / Menhir)

Tirai village on the brow was long a place of Highlanders before the folly of Clearances were brought upon the people. The standing stones at her eastern edge have companions in the ancient walls across the burn.

Duncroisk (Cup and Ring Marks / Rock Art)

What a fine setting these old rocks, carved in times before memory, holds the mind when mist-clad. My grandfather visited this place when he was alive and would tell me stories of people he said once lived here, in the rocks, before the time of men. There was another carved stone by the burn that I knew in younger years, but it seems to have gone.
