Visited 5th August 2004: We approached this one all wrong. It was entirely my fault as well. We parked on the wrong side of the stream near the picnic area, and had to paddle across where the water was shallow. Then we worked our way up the headland, past some serious sand extraction quarries, up to the top then down towards Clach Mhic Leòid. It was an interesting route, but not ideal for the kids. There was a fence to get over before we got to the stone, and at this point I realised we should have done it all differently (presumably parking near the cattle grid).
The stone is big and macho. The views are splendid, but we weren’t blessed with sunshine. There’s a weird sort of notch in the top of the stone (like an inverted arrow), and I couldn’t help but wonder whether it’s an original feature. It could equally be the result of a lightning strike. A ‘must see’ if you’re on Harris, but not as charming as Sgarasta.
