Nearby there are a pair of ancient stones that stand by the shore of Loch Eyre at Kensaleyre, south of Uig, on the North-West coast of the Isle of Skye. The stones are 13 feet 6 inches apart, and stand 10 feet from the edge of a bluff dropping down 20 feet to the shore of Loch Eyre.

The North stone is four-sided and stands 5 feet 6 inches high. The South stone is irregular in shape and slightly taller at 5 feet 8 inches high (both roughly 1.5 metres). The South stone is tapered towards the top, with a diagonal projection running from one side to the other.

There seems to be very little information about the origin of the stones; even the normally informative Historic Environment Scotland's Canmore site does not give any information about the date of the stones. It seems fair to suggest that the probably date to the Bronze Age, or possibly slightly earlier.

The most interesting feature of the Kensaleyre stones, apart from their superb location by the loch, is the story told about them in Skye folklore.

The stones are also known by their Gaelic name 'Sornaichean Coir' Fhinn'. The name relates to an old legend that the mythical warrior Finn, or Fingal, and his band of hunters used the stones to suspend a cooking pot over a fire. The pot was so large that it held a whole deer, which Fingal used to make venison stew. The legend also says that there were originally three stones, which tallies with the theory that the pair of stones once formed part of a stone row, or alignment, running NNW to SSE. For this reason, the stones are sometimes called the Eyre Alignment.

The remains of two burial cairns can be seen nearby.

There are several more ancient stones and burial sites in the area including a burial cairn with kerbstones on the North side of the A87, and several other standing stones, but the pair at Kensaleyre are both the easiest to reach and the most impressive.

Also near by is Kensaleyre Church of Scotland, also known as Snizort Parish Church, is situated close to the A856, the main road between Portree and Uig, at the head of Loch Snizort Beag. It came perilously close to demolition in the late 1970s when its condition had deteriorated to such an extent that it was unusable. However a last minute rescue involving the Skye Conservation Society, with funding from the Historic Buildings Council, affected a restoration which won a commendation from the Civic Trust in 1982.

The church was built in 1800 for Lord Macdonald, an early commission overseen by James Gillespie Graham. The original rectangular box design was extended in 1839 to seat a congregation of four hundred and fifty, and again in 1872 when a distinctive bellcote was also added to the east gable by Alexander Ross. A feature of the church is the gothic style glazing with intersecting astragals and ashlar margins to all the windows. The interior has a gallery, original pulpit and sounding board.
