Loch of Yarrows is a Bronze Age stone row located 350 metres south-east of North Yarrows in Caithness, Scotland. The monument comprises a linear alignment of standing stones typical of the Bronze Age period, when such rows were constructed across northern Scotland for purposes that likely combined ceremonial, territorial, and astronomical significance. The site forms part of the wider landscape of prehistoric monuments in Caithness, an area particularly rich in Bronze Age remains. Like other stone rows in the region, the Loch of Yarrows alignment represents the substantial communal effort invested in monumental construction during the second millennium BC.
