Carefully arranged in a horseshoe pattern, the 4000 year old standing stones are thought to be unique in the North of Scotland. This is because normally the broad face of each stone faces the centre of the setting. Not so at Achavanich - here the edge faces the centre. Each stone was painstakingly cut from the bedrock of Caithness Flagstone using simple tools.
