Quinish Standing Stones

The Quinish stones are a row of four stones only one of which now remains upright. The standing stone is 9’2″ high. Close by are 2 fallen stones with an almost concealed fourth pillar. Reports suggest there was a fifth stone, now gone.
Take the road that goes through Dervaig village and along the shore of Loch Cuin. Just before the entrance to Quinish Estate there is a parking area on the right-hand side and from here it is about a miles walk to the stones.

This is a row of four stones aligned NNW-SSE of which only one remains upright standing over 9 feet high. This stone is referred to locally as ‘Caliach’ which means old woman. Depending on which angle you view the stone it can look like a woman dressed in a cloak.
