Standing stone above Kintra, Isle of Islay

It’s only a small standing stone, but it does get a mention on the OS map. Found near Frachdale not far off the track from Kintra to Soldier’s Rock. Kintra in the distance just off the beach, the Paps of Jura in the far distance on the horizon.

Picture of a beach below some dunes stretching out into the distanceThe longest beach on Islay by some margin, the Big Strand at Laggan Bay. Several miles of (almost) uninterrupted beach. Here seen from the southern end at Kintra, looking north.

Picture of a small waterfallQuite small, but I think very photogenic (provided there’s enough water coming down the hills): The waterfalls just south of Kintra.
