NR8297 : Nether Largie Standing Stones - stones L and K
taken 13 years ago, near to Slockavullin, Argyll And Bute, Scotland

Thought to have been erected about 3,200 years ago, this group of standing stones lies at the southern end of Kilmartin Glen and in sight of several of the burial cairns of the linear cemetery.
There are five main stones in a group of twelve stones overall. The stones are arranged in an elongated X-shape 75m long with an outlier about 200 metres to the north-west. The main axis is at 23 degrees east of true north. Three of the stones have incised decorations such as cup-and-ring marks, and one hypothesis is that they were sections of earth-fast decorated slabs prised out and re-used as standing stones.
There are some people who hold the view that this alignment of stones was erected to mark key points in the lunar cycle.
