The Baliscate Standing Stones are situated in a field just 5 minutes walk up the lane behind Mull Pottery (car parking at the Pottery) on the Baliscate Estate in Tobermory. It can be very boggy so stout footwear is recommended.

The three stones at Baliscate formed a stone row, confirmed during an excavation in September 2005. A team from Manchester University excavated an area surrounding the stones which revealed that the original position of the recumbent stone was equidistant between the two upright standing stones. In addition to this the stump of a fourth, smaller stone was uncovered in peat to the north of the row, which appears to have been broken at some point in history. Near to the base of this stone, a small cremation burial was discovered.

The Kilmore Standing Stones are at Dervaig, hidden away in the forest at the top of hill on the road to Tobermory. Park at the car park at the top of the hill and the path to the stones is waymarked from here. The row is just inside the forest plantation, with tall pine trees planted on either side of it.

There are a set of 5 standing stones but only 2 of these remain standing, the other 3 are recumbent. The upright stones are both approximately 2.5 metres in height. Robert Pollock has produced a wonderful website and guide with diagrams covering some of Mull's Standing Stones.

On the road immediately below Kilmore Standing Stones car park is another set of standing stones. Walk through the new cemetery at the top of Dervaig to access the stones. One stone has been incorporated into the wall and the second acts as a gatepost. 

From the Kilmore Standing Stones, take the path that goes deeper into the forest and after around half a mile you will see another clearing containing yet more stones just beneath the crag of Maol Mor. These stones can be difficult to find as the path is very indistinct in places. We recommend joining a guided tour - click here for more details.

Take the road that goes through Dervaig village and along the shore of Loch Cuin. Just before the entrance to Quinish Estate there is a parking area on the right-hand side and from here it is about a miles walk to the stones. This is a row of four stones aligned NNW-SSE of which only one remains upright standing over 9 feet high. This stone is referred to locally as 'Caliach'  which means old woman. Depending on which angle you view the stone it can look like a woman dressed in a cloak.

Access is from the Lochbuie road where Ben Buie comes into sight and the road opens out to cross a stone bridge. Park at the bridge and go through the field (very boggy at times - there are some white stepping stones) towards a wood on the right. Near here you will see a single standing stone. Go into the field through the gate and the Standing Stone Circle is at the end of the field. 

The circle was originally nine granite stones, about 12 metres in diameter, with the tallest stone being about 2 metres high. It is mainly composed of granite slabs which have been positioned with their flatter faces towards the inside of the circle. One of the original stones has been removed and replaced in recent times with a low boulder.

There are 3 single stones in the field at differing distances from the circle. The nearest of these outlying stones is 5m away to the south-east, and is only 1m tall. The second outlier is a spectacular monolith 3m high and set about 40m away to the south-west. Also south-west of the circle, 107m away, is the third outlier, over 2 metres high. The stone is broken at the top and was probably taller when erected.
