Tour Scotland Photographs Pobull Fhinn Stone Circle North Uist

Tour Scotland photograph of Pobull Fhinn Stone Circle, North Uist, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The stones were probably named after the legendary Gaelic hero Fionn mac Cumhaill known in English as Finn or Fingal. The stones are also known as Sòrnach Coir' Fhìnn, or " the fireplace of Fionn's cauldron " and locally as Sòrnach a' Phobaill," meaning the fireplace of the People. The former name is similar to that of Sòrnaichean Coir' Fhìnn, the fireplaces of Fionn's cauldron, near Kensaleyre on Isle of Skye and Suidhe Coire Fhionn, the site of Fionn's cauldron, on the Island of Arran. Coire Fhìnn, Fionn's cauldron, was used to cook the deer that he and his fellow hunters had killed.
