Description: Monument and land to Howan on Egilsay. The monument from 1917 commemorates the spot where, some believe, Earl Magnus (of St Magnus fame) was slain 800 years before. Some locals however believe he was killed on the beach close to Howan, seen in the distance, but that the monument builders felt it was too far to carry the stone.
