The Striding arches and the Byre are up a glen from moniaive Best drive up the glen until the tarmac ends then park off the road and walk from there. You can’t go wrong as it’s one road up and out the glen you walk Remember in summer midge repellent will be a necessity Great for sunny days walk The artist who created the sculptures lives within 1 mile of the Wee Cottage http://moniaive.org.uk/visitor-information/striding-arches/
