Standing Stone / Menhir

Straight up the track from the road and you’ll walk straight into the standing stone. It appears to have been included in a ruined dry stane dyke, which will be very old as well.

Superb views for this 2.2m tall stone, plenty sites nearby for the next visit.

This standing stone is only a short distance away from the Creagantairbh stones. If visiting one stone along this beautiful valley it makes perfect sense to visit the other.

There is just about room to park on the narrow road but it is tight. Access is via a gate and then up a rough track. The stone is quite close to a farm house but I never saw anyone at home so it wasn’t a problem.

The stone is 2m high and covered with moss.

The cairn next to the stone consists of an overgrown mound of ‘spiky’ grass. There are many stones sticking out of the ground.

Unfortunately I didn’t know about the rock art at the time so missed that. Well worth a visit.
