A short detour from a drive on the Kilberry Road takes you to Ardpatrick on the shore of West Loch Tarbert. I don’t know anything about this stone, if it’s an old standing stone of some sort or a much more recent addition, maybe some memorial stone? I couldn’t find anything online, if you know please let me and others know in the comments.

A closer look at the huge boulder on the shore along the Kilberry Road. The famous Paps of Jura (and Corra Bheinn) in the distance across Loch Caolisport and the Sound of Jura. A great stop on a clear sunny day on the detour along the Kilberry Road during a drive to or from Islay.

A nice short stop on the Kilberry Road, the collection of carved stones called the Kilberry Stones. One of the things to see on the Kilberry Road, a nice detour on the way to/from Islay.
