Mystery rock-stacks. Pics 1994 & 1989.
One small stack, one large. A candle-lit dinner to anyone who can correctly name them both. Two candle-lit dinners if you can name only one. (Usual rules apply: I bring the candle, you pay.)

The snelsetter candle and the needle of the berry ?

No Keith, neither of them is in Hoy.

I should add that my repeated refences to a candle were NOT intended to be a clue.

The one on the left, is it near the Broch o Borwick ?
Added by Eoin on 16 September 2010
A good guess Eoin. For you & Keith I'll post a pic of the The Needle and the Borwick stack. 'Fraid I don't have shots of Flotta Cletts or Snelsetter Candle.

It's time this mystery was solved. I'll clear up half of it by naming the left-hand stack as the King o' Camy (not to be confused, a local gentleman informed me, with the nearby Kame o' Camy). It's located on the south-east coast of the East Mainland just about at the point where the parish boundaries of Holm and St Andrews meet. As for the right-hand stack - I 'cheated' a bit by showing it edge-on. I'll post a shot of it broadside-on, and no doubt many folk will know it.
