my parents used to tell me a tale about how the standing stone got there.... if you are all sitting comfortably i shall share it with you........... The MacDonalds of Largie, have a broonie that looks after them, and this broonie lives on the isle of Cara, (which is directly opposite Beacharr). One day a Campbell landed on the Cara, and the broonie was so cross it turned itself into a giant and started to chase the Campbell off the island. A sliver of stone got in the broonies sandal and jagged his foot, he reached down and pulled it out, the stone was then thrown over the giants shoulder, it sailed over the water and landed at Beacharr, and is now one of the tallest standing stones in kintyre. x
