Finlaggan submitted by Andy B on 13th Jun 2011. Finlaggan Standing Stone
A solitary Standing Stone , naturally predating the Lordship of the Isles. As ever various theories surround the placing and use of the stone. However in 1994 Geophysic surveys by the "Time Team" suggest that there may have originally been a line of stones marking the way to Jura.

Nether Largie standing stone
Date Added: 6th Mar 2023
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: Scotland (Argyll)
Visited: Yes. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 5 Access 4
Nether Largie standing stone submitted by caradoc68 on 18th Aug 2012. This standing stone is in the middle of a field, a short distance of the footpath. The farmer does not like you being there and might put a angry looking bull in the field to put visitors off. Cant find a lot written about this stone or why it seems to be leaning at 45 degrees and pointing to the southeast.

Nether Largie South submitted by Fairycake on 26th Sep 2020. Looking towards the cairn from the south with the large cist in the foreground. This is by far the biggest cist I have seen. There are several inserted into earlier monuments near to here, apart from this, showing these sites continued to have significance over a long period of time.

Dalinaneun Farm Cairn 2 submitted by caradoc68 on 15th Feb 2012. This cairn stands to a height of 1.8 metres above the surrounding field, but it has been enlarged to its present diameter of 31.4 metres by the dumping of cairn material round the perimeter when the central area was pillaged in the 19th century.

Dalineun submitted by hamish on 17th Feb 2004. On your way to Strontoiller you must visit this lovely Cairn at Dalnaneun Farm.The chamber and capstone are completely exposed and not much of the original covering is left.It is interesting to see the construction of one of these.Plenty of places to park,but access is over a barbed wire fence which is just at crotch height so be careful.
