Just before you reach the caravan park there is a beach car park at NX 63470 45804. Walk E along the beach for c. 0.33 miles to reach the farm track leading to Rockvale Farm. Head N away from the coast for c. 100 yards to a gate into the field on the L. Brighouse Standing Stone is c. 350 yards SE from this gate.
It is of uncertain age, not recorded in Canmore.
