Erratic Stones in Argyll

[These were uploaded as standing stones but they look like erratic stones rather than anything constructed by humans? - Ed] May be confused with the Staredam ones (which are near Muirheadstone) which are at NO 049 383 rather than NN - there's absolutely nothing at NN 050 383.

Just wondering if this has been recently changed from menhir to erratic/natural. The stone is almost perfectly positioned for both summer and winter solstice sunrise that I would think it has been placed.
