Cyberpanda visited on 1st Jun 2023 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 2 Take the tiny ferry over to the Boathouse cafe, then walk up past the forested area/Ulva house towards Craigaig and Ormaig ruins. Part way along there is a track off to your right and it takes you over a sturdy, tall stile (climb perhaps 2m up and over a deer fence via the wooden steps; the whole thing is like a stepladder). From there follow the narrow path thru the long grass and you’ll reach the standing stone. On a weekday in June (and pre-Banjo/BBC Ulva noise…) I had it to myself, and hung out with the stone sitting in the long grass for ages, thinking about deep time. Lovely place.
