From What to see around the Kyle of Tongue by Kevin J. O’Reilly.

The markings at the S end.
With a little sprayed water for help. 20p coin in the approximate centre for scale.

Close-up of the five-ringed beauty.
Before spraying with water – shows up better the natural colour of the stone.

The two motifs at the N end.

I’ve included this as Castleton 2b [NS88NE 53] meantime.
It doesn’t exactly match the description in Canmore (“two large disc cups, roughly pecked”) but it is in the right general location and I couldn’t see anything better matching the description.

Number 2. NS88NE 9. Described as “a ring of peck marks [15 cm] and a natural basin [18 cm]“.

Two of the motifs at 7a.

7a. From a different angle and with a 20p coin for scale.

7a. Best view of the seven radial grooves and the linking groove joining the two motifs.

The massive capstone – 7.4m x 4.5m.
