High Park Stone
High Park Stone submitted by Bladup : High Park Standing Stone with Paul McCartney, I imagine in his mind he's humming "We all stand together" with the Frog Chorus (Photo by Linda McCartney) (Vote or comment on this photo)
This 3m tall stone was also on the cover of Paul’s classical album Standing Stone, and prior to Paul’s caretakership was claimed by Alexander Thom to have a lunar alignment.

According to the Beatles Bible the property purchase was completed on 17th June 1966.

“It’s 200 acres and a farmhouse as well. It was well worth the money as far as I’m concerned.”

Canmore Link: Canmore site no. 38374.

Note: Happy Birthday to fellow standing stone aficionado Sir Paul McCartney, 81 on Sunday 18th. Here he is in the early 70s at his Mull of Kintyre farm / stone High Park
