markj99 visited on 23rd Aug 2019 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 3 Access: 3 When I visited Islay I found Tayandock stone by searching in long grass on the margin of a field at a OS Grid Reference from Canmore.
Tayandock is a recumbent standing stone at the head of Loch Indaal on Islay.
Take the A847 from Bridgend towards Portnahaven. Take the first right after 1 mile for Stonefield B&B. The standing stone lies in the corner of a field on the left (south) 250 yards after passing the B&B. You need to jump the gate and look for the fallen stone amongst long grass.
Canmore ID 37752 measures the stone at 1.5 metres long.
