Machrie Moor Stone Circles

Arran

About

Machrie Moor Stone Circles is the collective name for six stone circles from Machrie Moor near the settlement of Machrie on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. This rich archaeological landscape dates back to between 3500 and 1500 BC, and they are suspected to be related to religious activities. 

How to find:

From the A841 on the west coast of Arran, 5km north of the village of Blackwaterfoot, a signposted track leads to the stones. A walk of 1.5km from the road is necessary. The track can be wet at any season. The circles are in state care.

The Isle of Arran is a thumbnail image of the mainland. It encapsulates the geology, and thus the scenery, of the mainland in an island that is a mere 57 miles around, kidney shaped, about 25 miles long and 12 miles wide. It is therefore very user friendly: human scaled, and eminently accessible from Glasgow or Prestwick airport. It's the things it doesn't have that add to its attraction; no amusement arcades, for example, and you never have to pay to park your car.
