Another example of where a bit of signposting might demonstrate that the Uist tourist authorities recognised they had some wonderful sites which they might want to share with their visitors.

This 5.3m tall stone looks a little like an arrow head - it narrows near the foot then tapers at the top.

Great views - pity about the weather on our visit though.

On South Uist. If you're going south on the A865, take the minor road uphill to the left after the right turn to Stoneybridge. At the top of the hill there's a space to park by a strange white building and it's only a hop and skip down to this amazing phallic stone.
