Orthostat on top of An Sithean chambered cairn on the Isle of Skye for today's #StandingStoneSunday

Located at the foot of the Red Cuillin mountains, the tomb has an amazing setting and backdrop. The mountain on right, Beinn na Caillich, has a large Bronze Age cairn in its summit.

Visited March 2011.
