Can 4 Gen Soothen' tell us a wee bit about the Rat Stane near his ranch.
Maybe 4 Gen and big Blue Stoor could give it a slot on their radio show.

There are a couple of references to this on the KintyreMag website:

Can someone post a picture of it?

Great information, Gary. Thanks for that. I'd love to see a photo, too.

I'll maybe walk around there someday soon with my camera, its about a mile if the tide is out.........and about a mile if the tide is in actually

Weil ye bittur mac sure the tides oot then 4th, cause a fur wan winna want tae see ye float awa, weil naw tae yee geemi that pound ye owe me.

Friends of mine have moved in to Pennyseoarach last year, I will see if they have, or can take a picture for you, There are a few coins in it, (fertility offerings if the article is right) Maybe they will add up to Pops pound! . I will be staying up there in spring and in August as I have for the last 4 years.

I made the 350 mile trip up to visit the area this Easter . Here are some pictures of the rat stane as promised







Rat Stane with Sanda behind





Latest fertility offerings!

And finally the Stane with the Mull as a backdrop



I had a great weekend and took quite a few pictures in the Southend area, some of which I will post when I get the chance to sort through and upload them, and now I am counting the days till the next visit , August definitely, maybe sooner

Cheers
Chris

Great pictures, Chris! Thanks for posting. I know the ones of Southend will be beautiful, too.

Great pictures! I had forgotten all about the Stane!!!!!!

I particularly like that last pic.. very nice!

Thanks Chris, smashing photos, I will get down there myself soon.

That's really interesting, I used to keep my horse at Pennyseoarach and must have rode past it a dozen times and didn't even realise it existed!
Thanks for all the pictures and information on this, it's amazing the new things you discover after living most of your life in a place!

Thanks for the comments

When my freinds bought the farm, I did a google search and the kintyremag stories that Gary posted the links to came up, a local farmer told them of the exact location, although the coins were a clue! . Last week I bought an OS map of the area and I notice its marked on there

Thanks for posting this Chris - really interesting and a number of people have commented about this and the fact they never knew about it.

What is the best way to get to it?

Can I steal a picture?

I would say the best way would be through Pennyseorach Farm (look at the web link at the bottom of the post) Tell Terry and Lynda I sent ya!

No problem! can you lift it from this site or do you want me to e-mail it to you? (I will claim my beer next time i visit )

out of interest, any one in particular?

Cheers
Chris
