Dunning submitted by hamish on 15th Jul 2008. Was here recently and visited because I have always missed this site. I knew there was a stone somewhere but never found it 'till now. A nice girl took me to it. It is a standard Standing Stone with no ritual markings but it has survived regardless of the farmer.

Clach Mhic Mhios
Date Added: 12th Jan 2011
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Highlands)
Visited: Yes on 9th Feb 2004
Clach Mhic Mhios submitted by hamish on 9th Feb 2004. This wonderful Stone is about 6 miles up the road inland from Lothbeg. There are stopping places,but choose carefully as it is further across the heather than you think. It can be very boggy in the spring. The stone is about 10ft tall. The silence here is most wonderful,there is absolutely nothing to break it but the occasional buzzard. I was called away by the distant and unmistakable call of a fine malt,so I went off to find it.
