Anne T visited on 17th Jul 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Nether Largie Standing Stone/Outlier to the stone alignment: The gate into the field with this standing stone was wired shut and the book we had with us asked us not to intrude into the field. There was also a group of largely, lively bullocks clustered around the gate, so we contented ourselves with looking from afar, from the Nether Largie Stone Alignment.

Smilemaker visited on 10th Jun 2015 - their rating: Cond: 4 Access: 4 It seems the site has been pretty much restored. This stone is now upright once more in the middle of a field of general pasture with easy access from he adjacent footpath. I took a series of pictures using Gopro camera and pole for elevated access, from which a 3D photogrammetry picture was produced. Not sure if the site will allow the 3D image on the page, but it is accessible at https://sketchfab.com/models/75b8a5b76a9046b1a27062af9ff6df9f

markj99 visited on 30th Apr 2010 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 3 Nether Largie standing stone is one of the minor sites to visit in Kilmartin Glen. However, it is only a short detour from Nether Largie Stone Row.

**Nether Largie standing stone** submitted by caradoc68 : This standing stone is in the middle of a field, a short distance of the footpath. The farmer does not like you being there and might put a angry looking bull in the field to put visitors off. Cant find a lot written about this stone or why it seems to be leaning at 45 degrees and pointing to the southeast. (Vote or comment on this photo)
