Stone Rows

Caithness has many standing stones, circles and other ancient reminders of the past.  None is more intriguing than the many stone rows.  They are mainly small rows in a number of patterns of lines.  no one knows for sure what they were built for and your theory may be as good as any.  Still they make an interesting number of destinations in the counties of Caithness and Sutherland.
