Pagan Eye: Standing Stone on Islay
Claire Wickham sent me this photo that she described as: “A smallish standing stone on Islay.”
Islay has several ancient megaliths, the largest of which is probably at Port Ellen. A friend of Claire’s who saw the above picture mentioned that there is a modern standing stone on Islay too. It was quite recently placed near the road to the nature reserve at Loch Gruinart, and this picture might show it.
Whether the standing stone is old or new, the picture is very atmospheric. Thanks very much for sending it to me Claire.
My Pagan Eye posts show photos that I find interesting – seasonal images, pagan sites, events, or just pretty pictures. If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to [email protected] Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself.

I know there is a standing stone at Finlaggan on Islay, it’s larger than the above one, much more substantial looking. The above one looks more like the remains of chimney stack.
