A small hike to this one from the car park. Its a hands and knees job to get inside so maybe only for those with good mobility.

This one is well worth a visit, It's as intact as Meashowe and still has its original roof. I suspect that the method of construction is exactly the same as the houses at Skara Brea and not the thatched roof setup they are shown with.

Car park is up the hill up a decently good gravel road. Room for three cars. Down at main road area there is room for three more cars on a dirt/mud/grass area. Crawl on hands and knees to get into tombs area which is the size of a walk in closet with some small side rooms. Room opens up about 6.5 feet tall inside.

Faded roadside sign with a small space to park near the road and a spot for two/three cars a bit further up. Walk uphill and cross the stile. The entrance is fairly low so you will need to crawl in on hands and toes. There's no lighting so you also need a torch, and don't try to stand up too soon both going in and coming back out. Once out, walk up a bit further where someone has been building a set of cairns.

Well worth a visit. Be mindful that getting into the cairn involves crawling on hands and knees with a torch in your mouth! Even without doing that it's a very historic and atmospheric place, coupled with a fantastic view across the countryside to the sea. Climb a little further to the stacked stones up the hill. It's all on the St Magnus Way too, for those wanting to over that.
