Glaid Stone (Natural Rock Feature) — Fieldnotes |
|
The Glaid Stone is a natural erratic stone deposited on top of Barbay Hill, 2 km N of Millport. It is c. 12 feet long with a 4x4 feet cross section. The Glaid Stone is quite impressive however the panorama from the summit is more impressive. Barbay Hill is the highest point on Great Cumbrae at 127 m above sea level. A minor road from Millport winds past the Glaid Stone completing a picturesque 7 km circuit back to Millport. |
