A short row of three stones at Borve, a couple of miles to the north-west of Portree on the A850. | ||||

Na Clachan Bhreige, near Kirkibost on the road down to
Elgon, is the only stone ring (as far as I am aware) on Skye.
It is maybe a 3/4 mile walk from the road.
If, like me, you tend to take your holidays out of season
when the weather is perhaps a little on the damp side, you
may find the route to this site to be made up largely of
sucking peat bog; the wee burn may also turn out to be more
of an obstacle that in high summer. When you get to the
circle, you may well think: "Why on earth did I bother?"
This is normal. This is sane. But there are some great views in the area! |

The remains of the broch of Dun Beag lie on the west coast of Skye, pretty much straight across from Portree. |
