Summary
[edit]DescriptionCamas an Staca - geograph.org.uk - 764802.jpg |
English: Camas an Staca. Camas an Staca, alternatively Camas an Stacca, is a prominent standing stone above the Sound of Islay about 200m south of the road from Feolin to Craighouse. It is sign-posted from the road and a gate opposite a passing place gives easy access to the area. Camas an Staca means "bay of the stones".
The stone is about 12 feet tall and is a thin slab of rock aligned towards the south-east. Some reports describe it as the remains of a stone circle, but there is no evidence of that on the ground. The view from the stone across the Sound of Islay to Islay itself is spectacular and there are distant views to the Mull of Kintyre to the south-east. Additional views of the stone are at 764799 764805 764809 |
