Visited 28.5.12 The minor road leading up to the water works is tarmaced and smooth so no worries about the car exhaust on this visit! The stone is visible from the water works but a quick hop over a barbed wire fence and you are soon up close and personal to this massive stone. The stone is about 5 metres tall and 1.5 metres wide - covered in green lichen. In this lighting it looked like a face could be seen in the stone (well spotted Karen!) From up here there are tremendous, wide coastal views. This is definitely one to visit when on Uist. |

Another example of where a bit of signposting might demonstrate that the Uist tourist authorities recognised they had some wonderful sites which they might want to share with their visitors. This 5.3m tall stone looks a little like an arrow head - it narrows near the foot then tapers at the top. Great views - pity about the weather on our visit though. Visited 29 July 2004 |

| On South Uist. If you're going south on the A865, take the minor road uphill to the left after the right turn to Stoneybridge. At the top of the hill there's a space to park by a strange white building and it's only a hop and skip down to this amazing phallic stone. |
