Image of Dunadd Stone (Standing Stone / Menhir) by spencer

Seen from the road to the fort… I didn’t wish to intrude. Cared for in its manicured sylvan surroundings.

The stone can be seen in the garden of the house next to the car park for the famous fort. It is in the middle of the lawn. What a great garden feature!

Dunadd Stone

Standing Stone / Menhir

Rhiannon May 29, 2025

An ancient standing stone of a slab form, about 12 or 13 feet high, 4 broad and about 10 inches in thickness. The Country tradition is, that it is a momento over the ashes of some ancient hero.

If you read that in 21st century English you get the impression the writer wasn’t that interested, complete with shrug. But perhaps it’s literally what the country people told him, in which case fair enough. Recorded in the Argyll Ordance Survey Name Books (1868-78).
