Yeah, there's not a lot.... the Islands have them. Aside from Guidebest and the small Aberscross off the top of my head.... cairn country.

There are more than just those few, there's the likely stone circle (often referred to as cairn remains) by the Edderton Stone, Douglas Scott also indentified another possible a few km along the road I think which I've yet to find, there's possibility of one or two destroyed around Dunrobin, Bridge of Broubster, Backlass, Auchinduich by Lairg, Dailharraild / Clach an Righ, Learable Hill, there are others too...

One thing I do keep reading is about possible circles that get lost in forestry - and I wonder if you plant trees you loose a circle, esp an already damamged one, in or to trees a lot easier than a cairn. Lot's of cairns still traceable in woods, but I can't think off top of many standing stones or circles known amongst trees around here...

The circles we do know tend to be of quite modest stones. I personally recon we've lost quite a number. But I agree it's definitely not stone country like the likes of other areas.
