Decent natural defence on the west.

Furthest west part of the dun.

From the west side.

Actual grid ref is NR6337945650, this from the east.

North west part, then Mill Loch, then the Atlantic.

Looking south west, over the south wall.

Looking down the north west wall, Mill Loch sneaking into the photo.

The north east section.

On top of the east wall, looking south east.

Outer defence of the east wall.

Along the east wall.

Top of the wall on the south west.

Massive outer wall.

Closer, still in the south, note the outer defence.

The approach from the south.

Looking south east, NR6559652426.

The north side, looking towards the mainland, of NR65596 52426.

The larger of the 2 cairns, NR65596 52426, west side looking north east.

‘The Road Goes Ever On’ – the road goes south, I head north.

The view to the south.

Looking west, to the north west – the Paps of Jura.

South side of the stone.

I often wonder if this stone is trying to say something.

A view like this makes it all worthwhile.

My attempt from the east, faced head high brambles, ferns, gorse and various other jabby stuff.

From the south, some natural defence, aside for gorse and brambles, can be seen.

From the west, tried to get in from the east.

Marching down the road, north west, to the next equally untouchable dun, this on the north west.

From the field to the west of the dun.

The stone is supposed to be in amongst the trees behind, I did look and ended up in a bog. Now the stone appears to be next to a track near houses on the south side of Ardminish.

To left in the scraped brown bit, another 3 cups.

Some cup marls are visible near the blurry bit. The brown section has 4 cup marks.

The missing stone, re-found, has 15 shallow cup marks.

Reverse view of the north east cist.

On the south west, another possible side.

Possibly 2 cists, or capstones to cists.

A tad overgrown, you can just about spy another cist to the left.

Looking south west.

Its like the brambles are holding the stone captive, pretty sure they tried to catch me as well :-)

Look closely you see the end stone. In the murk, a fish farm.

A wee look underneath.

The cist cover is held up by the north east stone, another stone lies beneath.
