A CLOSER LOOK
Discover Ballochroy Standing Stones
Three standing stones set against the west-coast landscape and the distant hills of Jura.
What to expect
Three standing stones make Ballochroy a compact but memorable prehistoric stop. Their relationship to the surrounding landscape has prompted astronomical interpretations, including suggested alignments towards Jura. Those interpretations are part of the site's fascination, rather than a certainty established by a visitor looking at the stones.
Planning your visit
Read the approach signs and respect gates, fields and any livestock. Parking, surfaced paths and visitor toilets have not been verified here, so plan it as a rural heritage stop rather than a serviced attraction. Avoid climbing on or marking the stones.
