31st July 2004: I failed to visit this stone, even though we stayed the night in Uig. Just ran out of time. However, I did see it from the quayside in Uig, armed with binoculars and a Landranger map. As we sailed away on the ferry I watched it wistfully (the one that got away). Kammer Posted by Kammer

To avoid possible confusion, there is another Clach Ard stone in Skye - a Pictish Class I stone at NG421491 also known as Tote - too modern for this site but shown here. greywether Posted by greywether
