Hill O Many Stanes

The Hill O Many Stanes is a south-facing hillside in Mid Clyth, about 14 kilometres south of Wick in Caithness, in the Highland area of Scotland, which has about 200 upright stones, none more than a metre high, set out in rows running approximately north and south with the incline. The rows are not parallel, however, and they create a fan-shaped pattern. This arrangement is believed to be a relic of Bronze Age times.
