This is the most spectacular of the Moss Farm stone circles with the three surviving uptights standing to a maximum height of up to 5.5m, making them amongst the tallest standing stones, in Scotland. The circle originally consisted of seven or eight stones, and the remains of some of the fallen monoliths litter the surrounding ground. In the more recent past an attempt has been made to reuse one of the fallen stones by converting it to the two halves of a set of mill stones, but the project was abandoned when the upper half broke in two. In 1861 two cists were found in the circle; one contained a Food Vessel with a cremation, and in the second there was a crouched inhumation. The stone circles were recorded in 1861 by James Bryce, and numbered 1 to 5. Five other monuments in the area were numbered 6 to 10, and when subsequently a further stone circle was discovered almost completely submerged in peat in 1978, it was numbered Machrie Moor 11. Around 1 kilometer to the west is the remains of the Moss Farm Road Stone Circle, (Machrie Moor 10). When it comes to accommodation in Scotland, there's a fantastic choice of amazing stays from luxury hotels to glamping getaways. The classic fresh Arran Single Malt character with a puff of peat smoke. This Single Malt produced at Lochranza Distillery is some of the original, very first peated Single Malt that we produced on the island.

Richards, Colin (2013). Building the Great Stone Circles of the North. Windgather Press. pp.50–. ISBN 978-1-909686-15-1. The preceding stone circles at Moss Farm have all been known since the mid-19th century, but this final circle was only identified recently when attention was drawn to a number of stones projecting through the peat. On excavation they proved to be part of a circle of ten stones, which have subsequently been left exposed. Between the stones there were the post-holes of an earlier ring of timber uprights, indicating a rather more complex history than the surface traces might have suggested. The stone circles were recorded in 1861 by James Bryce, and numbered 1 to 5. [5] Five other monuments in the area were numbered 6 to 10, and when subsequently a further stone circle was discovered almost completely submerged in peat in 1978, it was numbered Machrie Moor 11. [5] Around 1 kilometer to the west is the remains of the Moss Farm Road Stone Circle (Machrie Moor 10). [6] [7] Machrie Moor 1 [ edit ] Machrie Stone Circle 1 James Bryce listed five other antiquities to the west of the stone circles in 1861. Machrie Moor 6 ( grid reference NR90733237) is the remains of a possible chambered cairn consisting of two touching upright stone slabs at right angles. [14] Machrie Moor 7 ( grid reference NR90633253) is a standing stone 1.6 metres tall. [15] Machrie Moor 8 ( grid reference NR90573237) is the remains of a probable chambered cairn comprising an oval spread of stones approximately 20 metres by 16 metres. [16] The most obvious feature is a 1.8 metre tall standing stone within the east edge of the cairn surrounded by several smaller stones which may have been part of a chamber or facade. [16] Machrie Moor 9 ( grid reference NR905324) was a standing stone of which no obvious trace remains. [17] Machrie Moor 10 ( grid reference NR90053265) is the Moss Farm Road Stone Circle. [18]

Machrie Moor 5 ( grid reference NR90873234) called "Suidh Coire Fhionn" or "Fingal's Cauldron Seat" consists of two concentric rings of granite boulders. [12] The inner circle is 12.0 metres in diameter and consists of eight granite boulders. [12] Excavations in 1861 uncovered an empty, ruined cist in the centre. [12] The outer circle is approximately 18.0 metres in diameter and is formed of fifteen granite boulders. [12] The outer circle is said to form a geometrical egg-shape. [12] Machrie Moor 11 [ edit ] Machrie Stone Circle 11 Machrie Moor – The Peated Arran Malt – has hints of vanilla, fresh pineapple and citrus, with an extra punch of peat smokiness on the finish. The cask strength edition has distinct influence of peat and notes of fresh pineapple and a caramelised bourbon cask vanilla finish.” The remains of the cursus, unusually well-preserved thanks to its upland location away from intensive farming areas and the presence of peat bog, were first discovered by a Lidar survey – a laser-light method used to examine the surface of the Earth – conducted by Historic Environment Scotland five years ago.

Machrie Moor 11 ( grid reference NR91213242) is a low stone circle with a diameter of around 13 metres. [13] The tallest of the stones is about 1.2 metres high on the western side. [13] Excavations in 1978-9 revealed 10 upright stones, with a pit between each stone possibly representing a post-hole. [13] Other prehistoric remains [ edit ]The six stone circles which are in our care are located immediately east of the now-derelict Moss Farm. The stone circles are the most prominent monuments on the moor today, erected in about 2000 BC. However, archaeological excavation has demonstrated that they were a later phase in a long history of human activity on Machrie Moor.

Machrie Moor 2 ( grid reference NR91143241) is the most visually striking of the circles on Machrie Moor. [1] This circle has a diameter of 13.7 metres, and may originally have consisted of seven or eight tall sandstone slabs, three of which survive intact, while stumps of others may be seen. [9] The heights of the three intact stones range from 3.7 metres to 4.9 metres. [9] Within the circle are two large stones, apparently cut from a fallen pillar, one of which now has a central hole as if for conversion to a millstone. [9] Excavations in 1861 revealed a cist in the centre of the circle. [9] A food vessel was found in this central cist. [1] A second, empty, short cist was found between the centre and the northeast upright stone. [9] Machrie Moor 3 [ edit ] Machrie Stone Circle 3 Machrie Moor 3 ( grid reference NR91023244) originally consisted of nine stones. [10] Only one still stands, 4.3 metres high, but the stumps of others are still partially visible in the peat. [10] The stones form a geometrical egg-shape. [10] Excavations in 1861 uncovered a small cist in the centre containing an urn with some fragments of burnt bone and flint flakes. [10] A second cist was found 1 metre south of the centre; it contained a crouched burial, also with some flint flakes. [10] Machrie Moor 4 [ edit ] Machrie Stone Circle 4 Six stone circles are visible on the moor immediately east of the derelict Moss Farm. [1] Some circles are formed of granite boulders, while others are built of tall red sandstone pillars. [1] The moor is covered with other prehistoric remains, including standing stones, burial cairns and cists. [1] The stone circles are positioned over previous timber circles. [2] A radiocarbon date of 2030 ± 180 BCE has been found for the timber circle at Machrie Moor 1. [3] Several hut circles can also be seen as low rings of turf-covered stone.

Undoubtedly the most striking is Circle 2. This is now represented by three tall, slender stones (up to 5.5m high), but originally consisted of seven or eight stones. One of its fallen stones now lies in two pieces, fashioned into millstones which never made it to their 18th-century mill. Folklore and ritual
