 There are no stats for many of the NPC enemies.
-There is a very nasty 'trap' in the ruined castle, in the form of a mirror that summons an image of Ghatanothoa.  There's no warning in the scenario, or any way for Investigators to work out what it does, and they might naturally assume it's relevant to the plot and try to use it.  In fact, it's not plot-relevant at all.  Keepers may want to reconsider this element, since it's extremely powerful, and could distract Investigators away from the actual plot.

 The investigation could usefully be fleshed out.  The information available is somewhat vague: Investigators should soon realise that there's something to do with 'dragons', and that the megaliths are involved, but learning what the MacAllans are up is tricky.  Their clan rituals are very occasional, and they're quick to murder nosy people.  Investigating the ruins is likely to attract a lloigor, with its instant-kill attack; the scenario emphasises that the victim probably doesn't realise their danger until it's too late.  As written, the scenario seems to rely on Investigators simply deciding to destroy the stones, rather than trying to learn what's actually going on.  If not, violence will quickly escalate, and they may find it difficult to achieve anything with both lloigor and MacAllans on the watch.
