If I’d looked up I’d be looking straight into the Sound Of Taransay.

Scarista – S56

Stone Row / Alignment

drewbhoy Oct 7, 2017

There seems to be stone rows aplenty in these West Harris shorelines. Scarista has three, but I only found one and like I’ve said a few times before when I get back I’ll look again.

This stone row is made up of three small boulders, a fourth stone could well be missing but could also be covered in turf. Horgabost has similar sites.

It was time to head back to Rodel after an exhausting day, the next day would be the last day of the trip.
