Tarbert

As Carl describes the stone is a beauty standing at over 2.5m tall with beautiful views into Tarbert Bay. Round the base of the stone appears to be some chokes and possibly the remains of a cairn but more likely it’s some field clearance.

A great place to visit and another stone in the nearby chapel grounds to the east.

Directions:
Once off the ferry head north along the only road on the island – A846. You will eventually come to Tarbert and a turning to the east with a large sign informing you this is a private road! Although you may not be able to drive down the road you can of course walk down it!

This large 2m+ standing stone is next to the turning in a field of sheep. Accessed via the usual field gate. The stone is covered with ‘hairy’ lichen and stands on an obvious low mound. There are lovely views out over Tarbert Bay.

A short distance along the ‘private road’ can be seen the old cemetery. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to explore this. I did however see several deer – the only ones we saw on our visit to the beautiful island of Jura.
