Cortachy

Standing Stone / Menhir

Fieldnotes

Glen Clova has always been a drewbhoy prime target and on returning from Islay it was time to pay the famous Glen a long overdue prehistorical visit.

Cortachy stone almost marks the spot were the B955 heads straight north, after the village of the same name, I'd came from the north east. The B955 starts at Kirrienuir.

From Cortachy Memorial head west for a short distance and take the first farm track south past the Old Manse. There is plenty of room to park on the sharp corner as the track veers west.

Walk straight south and the standing stone will appear just over the wee hill. There are no markings on the stone but there are views north and south, towards the Bell Hillock. It stands at 1.7m and was a very easy start compared to the exact opposite which would end the day.
