A short single-track drive from Uig brings you to a miniature landscape of rounded grassy hillocks and a rocky knoll called Castle Ewen. Visitors have built spirals out of stones; please don't add to them or move stones around.

Good to know

  • Park considerately, there is little space
  • Do not rearrange stones
  • Boggy after rain
Best time
Evening, quieter and softer light
