Thanks for putting the photographs up, it look bleak but beautiful. The stones look somewhat like what you find on the Dartmoor tors. Natural shapes that are vaguely human, the trilogy of the three females has been somewhat lost in the 'family' though. If myth there be, its later, but on a cautious note bleak landscapes go quite well with prehistoric history, needs someone to dive into that cold looking loch though and find evidence....
The height is the same as the highest Dartmoor tors i.e. about 500 m but being further north it is much colder . There has been next to nothing found in the area the soil is very poor and there are no shielings which are good indicators of at least useful summer grazing and are often found much higher .No rock art either despite quite a good search .Like much of upland Scotland despite some deserted glens there would have been some areas that were only ever passed through and never settled .
