Nether Largie Standing Stones, arranged in a letter X composed of four menhirs, arranged in pairs an approximately 70 metres apart, with a single menhir in the middle. Around which are seven smaller stones and one fallen one. Another menhir is one hundred metres to the northwest leading towards the circle. Alexander Thom toured this site with Magnus Magnusson in 1970 in a BBC television documentary called "Chronicle : Cracking the stone age code". He suggested that "gave so much information that it must be regarded as one of the most important, if not the most important sites in Britain". He clarified his hypothesis that it was a lunar observatory for predicting eclipses.

Aray Bridge, also known as Inveraray Bridge, on a still but hazy/wet day, The bridge consists of two equal segmental arch spans of 65 ft (20 m) built of rubble with all faces of dressed masonry and partly balustraded parapets and it was completed in 1775/6. This is taken across Loch Shira ( a side arm of Loch Fyne) and the bird was I think a Heron looking for breakfast. View large please Good News www.ipernity.com/group/2260604/discuss/186918 .
