Standing Stone (Menhir) in Orkney
This lone sentinel-stone, which is over 13 ft high and 3-4 ft wide, is unlike most standing stones in Orkney for it has a hole through its upper part. It has been suggested that the stone was an out marker in association with a stone circle which stood on Tor Ness, which together would have made a primitive sun-dial. (The stone is in the Guardianship of Historic Scotland).
