Clach an Trushal, Prehistoric menhir in Barvas, Outer Hebrides, Scotland.
The vertical stone structure rises to a height of 5.8 meters above ground level, making it the tallest standing stone in Scotland.
Archaeological studies indicate that the menhir was originally part of a stone circle constructed during the Neolithic period between 3000 and 2000 BC.
Local traditions connect the stone to territorial conflicts between the Macaulays and Morrisons clans, marking the location of their final confrontation.
The stone stands near a residential house with a designated path leading to the site, and limited parking spaces are available for visitors.
From the base of this solitary standing stone, visitors can observe the ancient stone circle at Steinacleit located in the northeast direction.
