Name says it all...they're standing stones on Machrie Moor. Decent (though not paved) path across fields and moorland takes you to the heart of a Neolithic landscape. I always find these places quite mysterious and evocative, and this site is better than most because of the location and the number of circles. Useful information boards too!

Fine wee walk along farm track to the standing stones. Great scenery on a clear day. Moor suggests it is more open a desolate than it is.

Several circles of standing stones all within a mostly flat walk on fields for about 2km Car park is signed and the rest is quite easy to follow. Some stone circles have markers explaining details about them and their history or about environmental initiatives in the area. Some of the circles are really impressive, with a few standing up to 5m.

I was here for the autumn equinox. Must be 8 stone circles in a small area. With breathtaking views.

A good, but beautiful walk from the car park. It is fascinating to see these ancient standing stones. Machrie Moor seems to form a natural shallow bowl to hold these monuments.
