The circle nestles in the corner of the Tynreich nurseries, beside a grassy field.
Stamping at the centre of the circle causes the ground to move. Funeral urns were dug up from here.
Proving that even the best of the best get it wrong sometimes, Irene's first hide-and-seek attempt of the day is a poor effort!
next stop was my "igloo" just down the road at Kilmorich
The "igloo" at Kilmorich had been puzzling me for a while. It looks like a huge igloo-shaped mound in a field, and I had no idea what it was (other than being obviously man-made). Irene's professional opinion was a cairn with long barrow attached.
Here we see the Megaraks in their natural habitat, skulking behind a cairn at Kilmorich.... This photo was taken from the top of the cairn, looking down onto the barrow.
Next stop was Kindallachan, where Scotty leads Ian in the Dance of the Pudding Goddess.
As Scotty and Ian continue their bizarre ritual, Nick does his best orangutan impression....
....while Irene once again beats all in the Scottish Megarak Hide-and-Seek Competition.
then it was on to Carse Farm & Dull church
Carse Farm 1 is SW of the village of Dull. The NE stone (i.e. the one closest to Dull) is decorated with 17 cup marks.
The cup-marked NE Carse Farm 1 stone
the remains of Carse Farm 2
The former Templar church at Dull is on an ancient site, aligned NE-SW with the Carse Farm 1 circle. Half-way between the church and the circle is a stone with 3 cup marks in a perfect NE-SW line.
Just down the road from Dull is the very overgrown remains of Balhomais stone circle.
Taking the scenic route back from Dull takes you by Clach na Croiche at Balnaguard, but since there were puddings waiting at home, a photo from distance had to suffice.
