Carragh Chaluim Bhainn

Standing Stone / Menhir

drewbhoy Dec 22, 2018

The standing stone, Carragh Chalium Bhainn, is a short walk on track and short grass towards Tarbert Bay, being situated in the old graveyard called Cill Chalium-chille.

It stands at an impressive lichen covered 2m in height amongst stunning all round scenery.

Beautiful place, a thoughtful place.

One of the stones at Tarbert (presumably this one) is called “Carragh Chaluim Bhain”, i.e. the standing stone of Calum the fair, almost certainly a reference to St Columba.
