Image of Fionnphort (Standing Stone / Menhir) by Kammer

Taken 11th August 2004: On an appallingly wet day, here’s a photo of Fionnphort taken from the car.

This is what summer on Mull can be like. Based on Nick’s photos, we should have visited during the winter.

On the way back to the B+B after visiting the wonderful island of Iona we stopped off to have a quick look at this impressive standing stone.

The stone is approximately 2.5m tall and is next to Achaban House.

We were all soaked to the bone following our trip to Iona and the rain continued to pour.
We were all cold, wet and hungry and it was still a long drive ahead of us.

Well worth a look if heading over to Iona.

Visited 11th August 2004: On our way back from Iona I persuade Louise that we should pop in and see a few standing stones. Fionnphort was the first we came to, and at the point when we arrived the rain was torrential.

What I should have done was ask at the house for permission to take some photos of the stone. Instead I wound the car window down and took some hurried photos from the relative dry of the driver’s seat. Yes, I know, this is not in the spirit of things at all. The stone looks rather pleasant as a sort of garden feature. It’s an elegant monolith.

The owner of the guest house here has no problem with people viewing the stone – just ask. This stone is over 2m tall, and stippled with quartz.
