AT OVER 3M HIGH, 1.5M THICK, WITH VEINS OF FELDSPAR AND QUARTZ. THIS IS A STANDING STONE FOR THE SERIOUS MEGALITHOMANIAC. SITUATED CLOSE TO THE A859 ROAD. A SHORT WALK ACROSS A BEAUTIFUL WHITE SANDY BEACH IS THE SOLITARY MCLEOD STONE, WHICH WOULD NOT LOOK OUT OF PLACE AT CALLANISH. THE AGE OF THE MONOLITH IS UNKNOWN, IT IS LIKELY OUR NEOLITHIC OR BRONZE AGE ANCESTORS ERECTED THE STONE. SCATTERED AROUND THE BASE OF THE MEGALITH IS SMALLER STONES WHICH MAY INDICATE A CAIRN ONCE EXISTED. WHAT IS LEFT NOW IS TO LITTLE TO BE SURE. IN A CLIFF SECTION NEAR THE STONE, A HUMAN SKULL WAS FOUND. IF YOU CONTINUE ANY FURTHER WEST ACROSS THE SEA YOU WOULD COME UPON ST KILDA, THE REMOTEST ISLAND IN THE UK. A VISIT TO THE MCLEOD STONE WILL REWARD YOU WITH BEAUTIFUL WESTERN ISLES SCENERY. THE GAELIC NAME FOR THE MCLEOD STONE IS CLACH MHIC LEOID. A BIG THANK YOU TO OUR ANCESTORS.
