Incredible walk, especially in the sunshine, especially for little ones. More or less a flat walk but with so many interesting things to see along the way. My kids loved being close to the sheep too. They found it very amusing, which made the walk full of giggles. The standing stones became discussions about our favourite movies, folklore, and myths. I would say go with your little ones, you'll all enjoy the experience.

This was fantastic! The drive was fun - such beautiful sights. The parking lot is frightfully small & full for such a popular attraction. Excellent sineage & path upkeep. So many great things to see & experience. I'd reccomended washrooms and a seating area at the parking lot & seating halfway. Lots of seniors & disabled walkers would appreciate this addition. 90% of walkers fit this description. It's not wheelchair friendly. There are a lot of sheep in the fields you walk, so this is NOT dog friendly unless your dog is leashed and not a psychopath. Unfortunately, out of control, madly barking dogs happened while we were there. This is inappropriate. The stones were fabulous & we enjoyed the entire experience. More interpretation and interactive signs/information would be great. Great visit!

Nice walk from car park to stones, not too strenuous and only a few small hills. Car park is tiny and was full in September, we had to wait for a car to leave to get a space. Could be a nightmare in the summer. No toilets here

Not too far of a walk from the car park to the stones. First thing you come across is the cairn, then a bit later on are the circles. The circles themselves have a magical quality to them, with their surroundings nothing short of beautiful. Lovely ruined farm too, if you want to be a tourist and have a poke about.

If you love standing stones- a must!! Situated in a great landscape and with nice weather you feel like being in a Diana Gabaldon book.

Beautiful sunshine made for a lovely walk and there was enough to see along the way to stop our 6 year old complaining too much. The stone circles themselves were impressive sights and I was left feeling as though this was once a far more important location than is let on. By the time we got back to the carpark it was quite busy so we clearly timed out trip well by arriving in the morning. Well worth the visit.

Second trip to Arran and first visiting Machrie Moor Standing Stones, we put this off in September due to getting soaked visiting the Kings Caves and guess what, it rained almost nonstop on this trip too, the walk to the stones is easy enough on a farm track, takes no more than twenty minutes where you are greeted with three separate sets of standing stones, worth a visit when touring the Island.
