The stone in the foreground is actually one of the more visible stones! The line of white stakes heading away ovet the heather mark other stones in this row.

This stone row is just a few hundred yards from the Grey Cairns of Camster. According to CANMORE there are actually six rows here but they’re disappearing under the peat. I found two of the rows. A couple of stones are maybe a metre proud of the peat. Others have only a few centimetres showing.

Don’t go hunting in wet weather or you may get sucked into the bog and never seen again!!
