Smilemaker writes: I have been researching an interesting alignment of the Hacklet Stone to the midwinter solstice sunrise, when observed from the stone circle at Suidheachadh Beag Previous suggestions were that the Hacklet Strone is a toppled standing stone, however its position is, I believe, exactly as placed. The angle of the stone means that an observer of the Solstice Sunrise would see the sun rise over the left edge of the stone, then appear to 'roll' along the stone and take off into the sky - a little like a ski-jump!
