Looking eastish.

The centre.

The outer cist.

Maybe the capstone stood once upon a time then was recycled.

Every angle presents something unexpected.

Wonderful cairn.

Looking south.

Looking north east.

Nicely shaped head to the stone.

Looking north.

Looking south west.

A superb stone, looking east.

From the west.

A nice shape to the top of the stone.

Heading north you’ll find Barnashalg Standing Stone easy to find and the not so easy dun at Bhronaig.

Lovely early morning, all is quiet.

The water of Linne Mhuirich behind, and further out Loch Sween.

Much closer.

From the south, no zoom, what a lonely place or is it?

Looking back along the track, Largie North posing in the background.

North west part.

The rock art.

Cist and rock art.

Looking back towards The Glebe and Kilmartin village.

South west side.

Taken from the main path.

Looking back, northish.

Looking down the valley, nice paths to more sites.

Behind the museum, closed Easter 2023, should be open Summer 2023.

The south side.

It’s impressive now, the footprint suggests it must have been huge.

It’s been a long time since my last visit here, 30 years perhaps. Been past a few times since, this time I was driving :-)

Looking straight north, Barr an Daimh, the highest hill.

Looking north west.

Looking north east, the loch of the same name behind the trees.

Possible capstone / cist cover.

Looking south.

From the east.

The wall swings from the north onto the east, the steepest of the sides.

The highest part on the south east.

There isn’t much of an east wall, perhaps there wasn’t one.

Looking south west along the west wall.

A ‘facer’ stone on the east entrance.

Interesting stone near the east doorway.

The west wall.

A more modern wall built on an Iron Age wall.

The approach from the south.

The lower section of the south side.

The door stops are remarkably in superb condition.
