I am going to Lewis on Sept. 9-11. Looking for the find Spot with the tall wooden stature of the king chess piece. Can anyone tell me how to find this?

Apparently on Ardroil Beach: Ardroil, Isle of Lewis HS2 9EU. A bit of a drive. I saw the real pieces in the Lews Castle Museum in Stornaway.

Some of the real ones are in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
I've also seen more in the Viking Museum in Roskilde, Denmark.
