My site of the year - Rudston Monolith
Tricky to pick as I’ve been lucky to visit some great sites this year. What can you say about this one, it puts the mega in megalithic. A must see site.

Adventure of the year - Dun Deardui
Great day out with Drew. Fantastic location. Good fun getting to this very tricky site.

Location of the year - Dun Bharpa
Nearly my favourite site but definitely my favourite location. Wow setting with the hills behind.

Peaceful site of the year - Borrowston Rig
Nice middle of nowhere feel. A place just to sit by on a warm day and have a little daydream.

Walk of the year – Loop round Cnoc Chaornaidh
Yes it was very wet under foot but this area is just crammed with Chambered Cairns. We visited 6 on this walk but you can keep going for another 2 or 3.

Revisit of the year - Jarlshof
Wonderful Jarlshof alongside Ness of Burgi and Old Scatness. Doesn’t get much better than this.

Mystery of the year - Cnoc Breac
I’d love to know what this site is. I know it’s a bit out of the way but if anyone is passing by, it would be great for someone else to have a look.

Site/fieldnotes/photos etc. posted on TMA that really make me what to visit - Boscawen-Un
The more photos I see of this one the more I need to visit. Such a long way though.

Hope everyone has a great 2018 :-)

That's quite a collection there T, I will read all the links a bit later.

My big highlight was the trip in May to Kilmartin Glen where the archaeological/rock art riches are almost too numerous to list, so many highlights. If I had to pick just one it would have to be Ormaig ...

Not least because the sun came out that day and lit everything up after what had until then been mostly misty and damp. Kilmartin Glen is a unique and wonderful place.

Some wonders there, brilliant. And I hope you get to Boscawen-un sometime, it is a very lovely site.
