Taken standing on the stone field wall, looking roughly West.
Taken 11th August 2004: Looking east(ish).
Note how flooded the field was. This was bad weather for visiting stones.
Taken 11th August 2004: Nice fury lichen!

Another standing stone right next to the road to Iona (A849)
You can gain access to the field where the stone stands through a gate.
The stone stands on the brow of a hill and is about 2.5m tall.
I can’t comment on the views due to the mist and rain.
I am sure I would have stayed longer had the weather been kinder!
Still, this is without doubt a good stone to visit when in the area.
Visited 11th August 2004: Tiraghoil was the second stone we came to heading east. I left the others in the car (the rain had subsided a bit) and made my way to the stone. This is a large lump of rock, much bigger than Fionnphort. It has quite a presence to it. With the weather as it was the stone did a good job looking immoveable (sort of, “I ain’t budging!“). The lichen hair might have been what suckered me into thinking of the stone as human.
This stone is in a field just off the Fionnphort road. It is aligned N-S, and has no markings or carvings, and stands just over 2m tall. Magnificent views all around!
