The Heart Stone, Glacial erratic in Rannoch Moor, Scotland
The Heart Stone displays a natural split formation in its granite structure, creating a shape that resembles two separate pieces on the moorland.
The boulder was transported to its current location during the Late Devensian glaciation period approximately 30,000 years ago from the Shap region in Cumbria.
The stone carries the name Clach Cridhe in Scottish Gaelic and features in local traditions where people touch it for favorable outcomes.
Located at coordinates 56.686557, -4.537424, the stone can be reached through walking paths that cross through the extensive Rannoch Moor landscape.
The granite composition of the Heart Stone differs from the surrounding rocks, confirming its origins from a distant geological source in northern England.
