Eyre ( Scottish Gaelic: Eighre) is a settlement on the eastern shore of Loch Snizort Beag on the northern coast of Skye in Scotland. [1]
The two Eyre standing stones ( Scottish Gaelic: Sornaichean Coir' Fhinn) are situated next to Loch Eyre. [2] It is said that there was once a third stone here, although there is now no trace. [3]
