Balnabroich standing stone

Standing Stone / Menhir

drewbhoy Aug 16, 2013

Walking in a NNE direction from the Grey Cairn keep going for almost a mile across the heather and past the battered hut circle. The farmer at Stylemouth mentioned that there was a standing stone and being the first person, probably since NB, on the go I received the info first.

The stone stands at over 1 meter, and looks down on the Ardle valley except in the direction of Grey Cairn which is blocked by a wood.

Visited 8/8/2013.
