Hillhead Of Barra

Standing Stones

drewbhoy Mar 23, 2010

This stone is only ten meters from the tragic cairn at the Hawk Law being possibly one of the stones that once stood there. Bennachie is in clear view as are hillforts at Barra and further afield at Dunnydeer and Tap O Noth. Now it stands at a jaunty angle and if standing at attention would be 1.5 meters tall.

Follow the directions for the Hawk Law and the stone will be easily found.

Visted 21/3/2010.
