More questions than answers: it seems Ballinluig Standing Stone was first recorded in 1999 by Ann Wakeling surveying an area with hut circles and clearance cairns. It is now briefly recorded (un-named) on the Highland Historic Environment Record. It does not appear to be shown on OS maps dating back to 1869, but other monuments in this area have remained unmapped. To the amateur eye it certainly looks like an impressive standing stone.
