Take the A849 south
west from Craignure for about 6 miles then turn left
onto the minor road signed to Loch Buie. 
A new car park has been constructed
close to St Kilda's Episcopal chapel. (worth a look inside).
Further on is Moy castle, ancient stronghold of the Maclaine's of Lochbuie.
Follow the footpath signs from the car park. Unfortunately, the
castle has to be kept locked due to its unsound structure but there has
recently been a lot of renovation and stabilisation work going on during
2007. For an update on the work
click here to go to the Mull Historical and Archaeological Society
website on Moy Castle. Nearby is Lochbuie House (private), built by
a former Maclaine chieftain. Beyond the castle you can walk to
Laggan Sands, and the Maclaine mausoleum.
Back up the road is Auchimor bridge
from which the path to the stone circle is signed. The way can be wet so
wear good boots. The circle comprises eight stones, and another standing
out of line.
