Anne T visited on 19th Jul 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Dunadd Standing Stone: This was an amusing visit to start off with. As we drew up in the car park, the “Tour of the Tor” minibus drew up behind us, along with the young couple we’d seen at Kirkmichael Glassary Rock Art yesterday. Other parties of walkers came along the path and marched off up the track to the fort. We later saw them standing on top of the fort waving down to those left below. We set off towards the farmhouse and the river to see the standing stone, which at first sight looked like a garden feature. We were closely followed by an American lady with her walking poles, a large rucksack and camera. When my husband stopped just before the stone, she stopped next to him and watched me clicking away. “Why’s she taking photos?” she asked. “It’s a standing stone”, Andrew replied. “Oh. Oh!” and with that she got out her own camera and started taking snaps. Whilst the stone was actually in the garden, a man was coming out to his car by the house and he waved me towards it as if telling me it was OK to take a closer look. What a really beautiful spot in this valley. With the sun shining and blue skies, it would have been lovely to sit by the river and contemplate the world for a while. It wasn't until I looked at Canmore later that evening, I discovered other standing stones nearby, which I could have investigated whilst Andrew was playing 'mountain goat' on the fort.

Standing Stone in Argyll

A 1.4 metre tall standing stone.

Canmore site no. 39592. Canmore says nothing is known about its origin. It is located 25 metres south of Dunadd farmhouse. Their latest entry, from 1983, adds: "An irregularly-shaped block of stone, 1.35m high and l.35m in girth at the base, is situated 25m S of Dunadd farmhouse, it is aligned NNW and SSE, and the top and the SSE edge appear to have been broken off."

Dunadd Standing Stone submitted by Anne T : This stone changed it shaped depending on what direction you looked at it from. This is looking at it from the path towards the NNE. (Vote or comment on this photo)

Dunadd Standing Stone submitted by Anne T : First sight of the standing stone, actually in a garden, but only a few metres from the path. It's in a stunning spot, almost right next to the River Add.
