    MacLeod's Maidens

    Anyone have any info on these sea stacks aside from 200ft high, used to be four, and its a strenuous walk?

    Want to take the kids to see them next year when we're up in Scotland and want to know some of the legends, etc associated with them.

    I think strenuous walk is an understatement!

    This is the Seaward Maiden:



    And this is the Little Sister:



    I got the information here:

    Might keep the kids quiet though!

    Looks like the sort of thing I used to enjoy climbing.

    I'm after more of the lore surrounding them though. Our eldest is quite in to legends and mythology.
