What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records The Twelve Apostles as Stone Circle (neolithic) - (bronze Age), Figurine (bronze)(period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
A Neolithic or Bronze Age stone circle, possibly with later additions or modifications, the name "The Twelve Apostles" may reflect a Christian reinterpretation of earlier prehistoric features, though its original meaning or use remains unrecorded.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
