Clach Steineagaidh


This standing stone stands on a slight promontory to the south-west of Tràign Mhòr.

Measuring around 1.86m tall it is around 0.97m across by 0.17m thick. It was once thought to have been part of a stone circle due to three prostrate stones lying in the vicinity however this theory seems to have fallen out of favour.
